Tagline produced a career best in this grade at Salisbury last month, when Immortal Beauty was just under a length behind, but is among the most exposed. RAGE OF BAMBY lost her unbeaten record in the Rockfel Stakes here two weeks ago but led until inside the final furlong and this is, on paper, a slightly easier task. Believing has come up against decent fillies in this grade the last twice and has place prospects again while Crystallium looks a threat to all. She is 2-2 and did well to give weight and a beating to a previous winner at Newbury last time – the well-beaten third has franked the form since. Youngest made a winning debut at Leicester but that form has sent out mixed messages but Lose Yourself’s win on the July course here in August is working out well.
