Richard Fahey stepped Romantic Settings out of maidens and a handicap to finish a fine runner-up to Oaks-bound Liber Nauticus in the Musidora. With further progress likely she'll make a bold bid to get back to winning ways but LADY NOUF has to be the form pick. William Haggas' filly, a winner at Leicester on her only juvenile start, put a poor reappearance behind her when a fine runner-up to Talent in the Pretty Polly Stakes, form that could hardly have been given a bigger boost when the winner followed up in the Oaks. Cocktail Queen has done her best in soft ground but Music Chart, who returns after a fine spell in Dubai where she scored on the Tapeta surface, made a winning debut on fast going at Newmarket in August.
