Having finished runner up to a next-time-out winner on her penultimate start, BINTOLA bounced right back to her very best when third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Leaving the impression she can do better again at this trip, Harry Charlton's filly shades preference over Lion of Mali who has enjoyed a highly productive season and wasn't seen to best effect last time. Nanoscience, George Wickham, Commander of Life and Waistcoat are others to consider in a competitive finale.
