SESAME showed her best form of the season by far when returning from a break to post a close third at Lingfield, only beaten half-a-length. Crucially, that contest took place on good to soft ground and similar terrain is forecast here - she has scope for further improvement. Biscuit Queen also looks attractively treated and is another to have found form on recent outings while Improvising also looks on a good mark when the claim of Finley Marsh is factored in and he could well emerge as the main danger after a sequence of solid efforts. One Kiss and Popping Corks are others to consider.
