The market is strong in favour of the May Hill Stakes form where Desert Flower beat January, and I don’t see why those places would be reversed. Aidan O’Brien saddles three runners and I suspect they all have chances of winning. Ryan Moore has chosen January but I’d wager it wasn’t an easy call. Dreamy looks a big unit and I have my doubts over her sire American Pharoah producing Group One horses, but no such doubts over the purple blooded BALLET SLIPPERS, by Dubawi, out of seven time Group One winner Magical. She’s a huge 22/1 and has done very little wrong in her career so far, showing progressive form. Each-way isn’t really an option with only seven runners so I’m going to split my stake and back ANNA SWAN as well. She’s another going the right way, is 2/2 and proven on autumn ground. Her pedigree is all stamina and she’s a live 18/1 shot in a small field.
