Plenty with claims in this closing contest and Sputnik Sweetheart is one of them as she was the cosy winner of a maiden over 7f at Goodwood in May. Princess Of Orange was placed in a higher grade over the same trip here last week while Four Leaves went close in a maiden race at Windsor last month but RUGOSA found only Dank too good in a decent handicap at Ascot a fortnight ago and Charlie Hills' filly is fancied to go one better in this less competitive affair. Soho Rocks had Afnoon behind when runner-up over C&D recently but steps up in class today.
