Burmese Whisper led for a long way over the track and trip early last month then couldn't handle testing ground at Epsom when LILLY BONBON stayed on in the closing stages. The latter gets the vote providing the ground doesn't firm up while Lady Rocka, who also made the running on her debut at Salisbury before weakening quickly, would be happier if the rain stayed away. Don't Tell Her has run at Deauville on her two latest starts, being beaten narrowly over 6f then failing to handle the Polytrack surface over today's trip. Matilda's Law started favourite at Lingfield on the back of a fair debut but was a bit disappointing.
