A really tricky contest this but it may pay to side with BLACK TULIP who chased home Marienstar who has been a revelation of late and the 5L she was beaten is as close as anything has gotten to that mare in three starts this season. Also on the shortlist is Silent Steps who absolutely hacked up in a weak race last time under a penalty. The Elliott/Johnson combination must always be feared so it will be no surprise if Synopsis goes close either.
