GLEAMING GIRL is the only member of the quartet not to have been campaigned on the all-weather during the winter but made a solid enough start to the turf season when hunting up Clotilde at Windsor on her reappearance. She was never going to reel in the winner that day but it was a effort that should have brought her to concert pitch as she didn't settle too well and may have been too fresh. She gets on well with Sophie Killoran and looks weighted to go close. Subtle Knife has performed well in higher grade and should be in the mix here despite topweigtht as he drops in grade whilst Pretty Bubbles should also be competitive on the back of a winning effort last time at Kempton. She goes best for Frederik Tylicki who takes the mount here.
