      In depth

      Verdict

      BAOLI is progressive and she can win again. Luca Cumani's filly is up another 5lbs for her latest win at Brighton but she hasn't stopped improving this year and seems to get on well with Kirsty Milczarek. Now What scored readily at Folkestone but that was on different ground and although she has some quick ground form it doesn't look quite as good, and along with Celestial Girl is taken on. The last-named disappointed at Brighton last time behind one of Luca Cumani's, however this quicker ground should see her in a better light. Shianda won last month when well-backed so the market needs close inspection, as it might do for handicap debutante Bedouin Princess and also Chichi.
