Stunning Beauty came up short when third at Newmarket though drops down a grade. Dalanijujo went close at Doncaster last time and finished in front of Pretty In Grey when placed at Newbury before that. Madame Tantzy has a tough task in this so LOLA SHOWGIRL (NAP) gets another chance back at this level. Beaten in Listed company recently, Dave Loughnane’s filly won a decent handicap at Ascot in June and another bold bid is expected today.
