Verdict
My Bonnie Lassie won over 6f here last month when giving the impression this extra distance would suit. Tudor Queen placed at Carlisle on her handicap bow and steps back up in trip but BINT ELMALEK can improve past both of the above. Charlie Hills’ filly showed promise when third at Newmarket on her debut and this looks easier. The remainder have yet to threaten though the likes of Aldabra, Ruby Jules and the returning Philosophy are likely improvers.
