Verdict
Sylvan Mist won over 6f here in April and has run well on fast ground subsequently from a much higher mark. She looks certain to go well despite dropping to the minimum trip. Bangalore Diamond has won three races here, all over 6f, but was well beaten last week as was Sujet Bellagio, who was sent to Wolverhampton on Friday and started favourite but finished last. She had earlier finished behind MAJESTIC TIMELINE and Like Magic over this track and trip and the winner, who carried a big weight to victory, is taken to follow up under Johnny Murtagh despite a 6lb rise.
