At first glance, a ridiculously wide-open handicap in which most of the 13 runners have some sort of chance. Panova has become expensive to follow and, along with Soul Silver, was comfortably beaten by Shenanigans here last time. Lady Perignon made all at Epsom but might struggle to dominate this better opposition. Dowayla has been placed in both starts, including one here on the July course, since winning at Bath but there should be more to come from CLEARLY (NAP). She was left in the stalls at Sandown after winning her maiden at Kempton last month but still got within half-a-length of winner UAE Queen and can shrug off a 5lb rise if getting away on terms today. Crowning Glory has a touch of class but needs fast ground to show her best.
