Verdict
Black Mascara attempted to make all on soft ground at Newmarket and had no answer when headed at the furlong pole. More restrained tactics may be applied here though she'll do well to hold off GUARANTEE, who made an impressive start behind the odds-on Nabucco over 1m2f at Windsor and is certain to be suited by the longer trip. John Gosden trained the winner that day and is represented by Top Billing and Moonglow here with preference for the former. He's another certain to be suited by further after looking a bit one-paced at Sandown and Bank Bonus is yet another stepping up in distance after staying on behind Clare Island Boy at Goodwood.
