Lots with chances but PRETENDING arrives at the top of her game and is taken to quickly resume winning ways eased 1 lb for her good Lingfield fourth last time out. El Jefe rates the obvious danger in his bid to rattle off a four-timer, with Skycutter, Applaus and Kingston Bridge others to consider in a very open contest.
