Dance Diva and Mamba Noire - each placed in Group company - set the standard form-wise but it's hard to escape the claims of POETIC CHARM . Charlie Appleby's filly looked an exciting prospect when prevailing over C&D on her debut last month and, providing she handles slower ground, everything in her pedigree suggests that a Listed event of this nature should be well within her range. Elsewhere, Richard Hannon captured this prize 12 months ago and saddles two live contenders in the shape of Mayyasah and Tajaanus .
