MRS NEAT holds solid claims having finished three lengths off Sacred Shield over C&D last time in useful company. She's developed into a consistent filly, retains potential for progress and should have too many guns for more exposed rivals. Entrance, another three-year-old filly, scored over this trip at Nottingham and posted a solid effort behind Fujin Dancer at Pontefract. She looks the danger. Mustajed may be into his eleventh year but scored over C&D in June in a similar contest for today's rider and must go well off this mark. Alternative Choice landed a division of this last year under this pilot and would be a player if returning to that level but has shown little since, whilst the consistent Bentley has yet to score beyond nine furlongs.
