On Her Toes drops back to 7f for the first time since placing in last year’s Sweet Solera but never figured in the Sandringham at Ascot last time. Gymnaste and CHEVAL BLANCHE were also well beaten in the latter race but Michael Bell’s grey filly had won easily under Lulu Stanford at Salisbury back in April with a couple of subsequent winners down the field and gets the nod on that form. Inshiraah and Alouja are upped in class and Tropical Rock is much better than her comeback run suggests.
