A tough race to call with some powerful yards competing. Asterism finished fifth here last time and makes more appeal than stablemate and newcomer Chabada, while Moment Juste needed 1m6f at Wolverhampton to register her best effort so far. Whispered has gone close on her last four starts now but the application of first-time headgear suggests she's not pulling out all the stops so a chance is taken on SWEET LAVENDER. She finished second to the useful Blaise Chorus here on her debut and is likely to have improved since given Frankie prefers her to Deraasa, who is not with claims herself.
