Our view
Best selection: Dark Rosa. Recent figures of 6322 – consistently in the frame; 32 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Georgina Nicholls has had 3 winners from 71 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Platinum Prince is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Platinum Prince and Norfolk Blue.
