Marco Botti doesn't waste entries so the presence of MOSQUERAS ROMANCE looks significant. The winner of a lowly handicap on Polytrack at Kempton in July, she's made remarkable progress subsequently and her recent short-head defeat by Aspectoflove in a Listed contest at Lingfield would be good enough for this. You'll Be Mine has been a big disappointment this season and reverts to the trip which saw her finish third in the Fillies' Mile at Ascot last September. Devoted To You has won just once but has generally competed at a higher level and shouldn't be dismissed while Barring Decree has raced solely at pettern race level since landing a handicap at the Curragh in May. Priomhbhean was well beaten the first time she contested this grade at Leopardstown though the 1m2f trip may have caught her out in that company. Most of the remainder are handicappers who will need to improve to get involved.
