Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Miss Kassiopi
Miss Kassiopi has the best form in the book, landing a handicap by nine lengths at her peak this spring, and has joined a yard in excellent current form at a marginally lower mark; last time she set her own downfall by going too freely, and a more considered ride here should see her much closer. Jeteye has course form and drops back in grade, Lady Phoebe is in strong form on the Flat and is unexposed over hurdles though her stamina at this staying trip is unproven, and Star Vantage has been consistent without breaking through. Selection: Miss Kassiopi.
