None of these can be ruled out with complete confidence, but the 3-y-o PRONTISSIMO is much the least exposed and this drop to 6f back on a galloping track may prove ideal. The booking of Jim Crowley is another positive factor. Louie De Palma is feared on the back of his recent Windsor success, while the consistent Dancinginthewoods also needs considering, but Beauty Choice rates the main danger.
