De Little Engine went close at Brighton a week ago and was narrowly beaten by Swissal at the same track in May with Blessed To Empress behind. The latter posted a better effort at Wolverhampton last month while Sonnet Rose won at Yarmouth earlier but remains 4lb higher. Mochalov has been in better form of late but MISS ICON returned to winning ways at Chepstow on only her second outing of the year having missed the whole of last season. An apprentice’s allowance negates a rise in the weights and Patrick Chamings' mare can go in again.
