The way the race was run definitely went against WHITE WILLOW last time and I loved how hard she tried despite that. She had won impressively prior to that and I still think she has plenty more to come especially over this trip. She is likely to relish the switch to turf judging by her breeding and I think she has plenty going for her off the same mark. Both Shake A Leg and The Dancing Poet could go forward and that would be an ideal situation. Molinari was a solid third at Catterick last time and he is consistent so may well emerge as the main danger to the selection. Myboymax has also been knocking on the door and is likely to run well again perhaps without being good enough. I thought Three Platoon was quite a big price in terms of a place but he does need to bounce back from that poor run at Lingfield last time.
