Les Fazzani, Classic Remark and Insaaf are on the shortlist here with LES FAZZANI taken to score. Insaaf has shown her best form on a soft surface and weill enjoy the prevailing ground conditions. She was a decisive winner last time at Hamilton in handicap grade, having earlier run well to be placed in a lucrative contest. She is on the upgrade and capable of going close. Classic Remark provided a surprise when taking a Listed race at Newcastle, and then ran a bliner to be beaten less than three lengths in the Nassau at Goodwood. Her latest efforts have disappointed though and she may prefer faster ground. Les Fazzani's form figures do not look inspiring but she has been running with credit under big weights. Last time at Goodwood for example she finished a decent third behind the progressive Crystal Capella. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has won twice since, and Les Fazzani can collect on ground she relishes. (John Temple)
