Verdict
A step up in class in soft ground proved beyond DEGLET NOOR at Newmarket last month but she'd made a winning start over a mile at Kempton in September. Getting up late on that occasion, this longer trip shouldn't be a problem and she gets the vote. Testing going was a less convincing excuse for Modernstone on her latest start as she'd won on the same surface at Windsor earlier, while Mystery Bet looked to have an easier chance here last week but came up short when finishing upsides Rainbow Beauty. Duchess Of Seville looks a bigger threat dropping back a furlong.
