PRETEND was unlucky here last time and is taken to make amends. He sets the clear form standard and should account for the in form Lancelot du Lac who got the run of the race that day. The selection has an outstanding record here and goes particularly well for Adam Kirby. Lancelot du Lac cannot be dismissed given his excellent AW record and he is sure to be thereabouts again. There have been plenty of big priced winners of this in the past so it would hardly be a surprise should Buying Trouble pick up a deserved first success at this level. She has some solid sprint form and deserves to pick up a prize such as this. Her third to the Prix de l'Abbaye winner Marsha at Ayr last season reads particularly well even allowing for that filly's subsequent improvement. If Bowson Fred sets a good pace he could set the race up nicely for her.
