Perfect Words has shown his best over 5f so far, though this is much easier than his latest task at Hamilton. STAR REQUEST returned a losing favourite over the minimum trip at Musselburgh last week but had found only Bachotheque, who has since won again, too good in soft ground over 6f before that and she gets the nod on that form. Miss Perfect had Only For You a couple of lengths behind when runner-up in fast ground at Beverley and Iwilsayzisonlyonce finished ahead of Panama Cat at Wolverhampton last time but Twilight Pearl was well beaten when second at Hamilton last month.
