Figment is rated 3lb higher than FINE VIEW but it could be a case of which of the hitherto disappointing pair decides to put their best foot forward here and the Godolphin filly is likely to start at more attractive odds. Royal Rettie was second over 6f at Windsor on her first start for Chris Wall but that still gives her a bit to find with the likely principals. Rosa's Cantina may still have a bit of scope after just the two starts but Approaching Star looks booked for last place.
