John Gosden won this with subsequent Group 1 winner Nazeef last year but Mostly was beaten carrying a penalty at Yarmouth last time and a tongue-tie is applied. A winner at Haydock earlier, Lady Lynetta could only finish third of four runners at Goodwood last month though it was soft going on that occasion while Excellent Times posted a better effort at Ascot a fortnight ago having slid down the weights. But MANAABIT is the most progressive of these having won three of her last four outings including in this grade at Ascot and the William Haggas-trained filly should make a bold bid for a hat-trick raised 4lb.
