Crema Inglesa was second in this last year but is still 4lb higher despite having become disappointing. Arclight was too keen trying this trip at Leicester and is probably in the handicapper’s grip while Madame Ambassador seems best in small fields. SWOON finished ahead of Pretty Sweet at Ascot in July and the pair meet on the same terms. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly remains unexposed and can shrug off an absence to land this ahead of the three-year-olds Hexameter and Mellow Yellow with Whimsy beaten off lower marks the last twice. Wynter Wildes is very consistent and handles all types of going so has place-claims again.
