Verdict
It was soft ground when Wee Jean scored at Newmarket last time and she bids for a hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark. Alfajer is upped a further 3lb after returning a losing favourite at Doncaster three weeks ago so a chance is taken on SULAALAAT (NAP). The latter drops in class for this and a repeat of her earlier fifth to Osaila in the Sandringham at Ascot should see Brian Meehan's filly go close. Saucy Minx is at home in this grade and is preferred to the likes of Acclio and Assault On Rome of the remainder.
