William Haggas won this two years ago and MAM'SELLE may be the one to side with in a competitive contest. The filly is less exposed than most in here and she looks capable of handling a hike in the weights. Torcello is another progressive sort arriving on a hat-trick bid but it's Londinium who may prove the main danger for last year's winning trainer.
