Charles O'Brien's Bewitched comes here in good from following back-to-back successes, the latest of which was in a Listed race at Haydock, and she has an obvious chance of completing the hat-trick but a penalty for that recent win makes this more difficult and a better bet may be ROSE BLOSSOM, who gets the verdict ahead of Duchess Dora. John Quinn's filly lost no caste in defeat at Sandown last week when not getting the clearest of runs behind Burning Thread and she should be thereabouts again. Any market support for Impressible would be of interest, while lack of a run this term is a concern for Swan Wings but if Andrew Balding's filly has improved from two to three then she has to be respected. Ralph Beckett's Tropical Treat made a highly encouraging reappearance in this grade at Nottingham last month and she has every chance if able to build on that effort but preference is for Rose Blossom. Richard Fahey's filly showed that her reappearance run was all wrong when successful at York last month and she has run well in this grade on her most recent start when narrowly beaten by High Standing at Haydock three weeks ago.
