IF WHAT AND MAYBE was clear of the third when only beaten half-a-length by Librettela at Lingfield 11 days ago. The blinkers have clearly woken her up and she could get off the mark here if transferring that improvement over to turf. Miracle Play is clearly improving and should make a bold bid to follow up her Wolverhampton win, despite the penalty, while Miskin Diamond won over C&D on her latest start and is only 3lb higher today. Ishikawa seems better on the Polytrack, however, and Special Endeavour's Lingfield second may not amount to much. The others have plenty to prove at present.
