Plait’s last three runs have been in Listed company and he won on the surface over the winter but HAMEEM looks to have stronger credentials. The Gosden filly is 8lb higher than when successful at Newmarket in May but still had White Chocolate behind when fourth last time at Ascot. Point In Time has won three times over 1m4f, including once here, but is possibly suited by a bit further nowadays. I'll Have Another was a useful juvenile but has not shown the same form this year, though is eased in grade.
