Urban Fox sets the standard with a mark of 99 after recent placed efforts in Group races. She was fourth in the Sweet Solara on the July course here earlier and should have the measure of Storm Cry and the lightly-raced pair Highland Pass and Miss Fay. But UNFORGETABLE FILLY may prove a tougher proposition as she took a big step forward with a facile seven-length success on the Turf course at Lingfield – she gets the vote.
