Confirmed debut promise when winning novice at Kempton last August. Improved again after 9 months off when runner-up here a fortnight ago and is entitled to come on from that on her handicap debut.

Made winning handicap debut on soft ground at Goodwood last summer. Possibly needed the run on return there 18 days ago and now the cheekpieces go on.

Deservedly opened her account when seeing off 5 rivals at Kempton (11f) in March. Made light work of 4 lb rise after 5 months off at Goodwood and she's open to further improvement stepped up in trip.

Verdict

Cases can be made for most in here, but preference is for Roger Varian's progressive filly BELIEVE IN LOVE. She deservedly opened her account at Kempton in March and improved further when relishing the extra distance to score at Glorious Goodwood last time. Alemagna rates as the main threat if her is stamina put to the test, ahead of the unexposed Expressionism.

  1. BELIEVE IN LOVE (IRE)
  2. ALEMAGNA
