Beauty Filly and Morning Has Broken need to find a bit more off their current marks on recent form, though both remain umexposed. Perfection finished in front of Elizabeth Bennet when fourth at Newmarket last month and should confirm running in this but John Gosden‘s charge had earlier finished behind runner-up ORTIZ in a Class 2 handicap over a mile at Ascot. This return to 7f should suit the latter and Henry Candy’s filly could prove the one to beat with further progress on the cards.
