Recent winners Speriamo, Azahara Palace and Five Towns are all upped in class though the latter is unexposed and is not out of this. Lady Alara scored at Ascot a fortnight ago when beating Maggie's Way a couple of lengths with High Spirited and Don't Tell Claire well behind and she should figure again despite a 6lb rise but SHINING JEWEL makes most appeal. The latter left her previous form behind on her first outing after a wind operation when making all at Chelmsford and the Godolphin filly can show further progress now handicapping.
