All The More has a good draw and enough experience to open her account, with Catie Dash a live threat based on her two runs so far. All The More has already been seen out eight times in all, including when eighth in Newbury's valuable Weatherbys Super Sprint in July, and since then has performed with credit at York and Sandown. Although that last outing was over five furlongs, the ground was on the soft side and she faced an uphill finish, so the fact that she remains at the minimum distance is not seen as a problem, as the prevailing fast conditions here will not tax her stamina. Nerys Dutfield's filly has her best chance to date and should make a bold bid from her inside draw. Catie Dash is going to be a big threat though judged on her finishing effort last time at Folkestone. Despite missing the break, she made Handsome Cross pull out all the stops and would have won in another stride or two. She has earlier shaped well behind Dontstopthemusic on her Nottingham debut and should be more than capable of picking up a similar race to this soon. Trishay and Lyrical Girl have both managed to fill the frame in their limited careers and have the scope to progress, but will surely find All The More too experienced here.
