Gavota started favourite for a Group 3 at Newbury in April but was most disappointing and finished well behind Dance Diva and also Fille De Reve - she is one to be wary of now. Richard Fahey’s filly won three times over 6f last season but didn’t appear to get home over 1m1f at Epsom last time so dropping back in distance should suit. But the stable also run CLUBBABLE, who has won handicaps at York and Chelmsford this season over this trip. She had subsequent winner Cavatina a length-and-half behind on the Knavesmire and is 2lb better off so his fancied to confirm running with another of the Cheveley Park fillies and take this step up in class in her stride. Bella Ragazza only won a maiden at Goodwood and this might be too tough for Miss Bar Beach and Mystic Meg.
