Competitive fayre for this grade and the lengthy short-list includes Spin Top, Billyoakes, Strictly Carter, Arcanista and Mercers, though the vote goes to ZENOVIA. Archie Watson's filly has been very competitive recently and might benefit from the application of first-time blinkers today. The Anabel King-trained pair Napping and Krazy Paving are both nicely drawn and are also not ruled out.
