Verdict
Plenty with claims in this though Desert Cross could only manage third at Bath bidding for a hat-trick and would prefer faster going. Ancient Longing was runner-up in soft ground over track and trip in June and is preferred to recent Epsom runner-up Becca Campbell. Lady Valdean is another threatening to get her head back in front and found only one too good at Lingfield last time but THE JEAN GENIE is preferred. The latter has been thereabouts over 1m2f lately when giving the impression this longer distance would suit.
