Admirable Duchess has been raised 5lb for her win at Lingfield, but has more scope for improvement than another recent Lingfield winner Ajjaadd. She had Wooden King behind last time and could make the frame again, but Your Gifted has been lumbered with an 11lb rise in the weights for her recent good form and was beaten at Folkestone on Thursday. NIGHT AFFAIR found only Ritual, who runs earlier on the card, too good at Sandown last time. A line through fourth-placed Macdillon gives her the beating of today's rival Taurus Twins and David Arbuthnot's mare gets the vote.
