Verdict
AURORA PAPILLON won a lower grade contest at Chepstow a week ago and is penalised. But she remains unexposed and open to further progress over this extra distance and gets the vote. Delphinus finished just ahead of Shibuya Song when that pair filled the places at Windsor last time while Sea Of Charm is usually thereabouts without winning and placed at Doncaster last month. City Spirit may improve now handicapping and is preferred of the remainder.
