Battenburg Belle, rated 69 by us, is our selection after a breakthrough win last time that capped a progressive sequence of one win and three seconds from her last six starts, and the small rise in the weights shouldn't stop her following up. Truly Special, back on a good mark following a recent success, is the most obvious danger, though it remains to be seen whether quicker ground will suit as well as conditions did that day. Hood Wink has been consistently competitive all season and remains open to further improvement, while a below-form Zoulette cannot be ruled out either if bouncing back. On balance, Battenburg Belle's clear upward trend gives her the edge for us.
