This looks tricky as likely favourite Fabulist was a disappointing favourite in lesser company at Ascot earlier this month and is having a first run over a trip this short. Melodies was a decent juvenile but has been off for more than a year while Impulsion is going backwards but Breathtaking Look is a course and distance winner who still looks to be in good form. DUPIONI was behind the latter here last month but missed the break and is 6lb better off. Though she probably needs some help from the handicapper, Rae Guest’s filly gets a tentative vote.
Breathtaking Look 9-2jfav (9-13) Chased leaders, effort 2f out, stayed on same pace, 7th of 13, 7 3/4l behind Light And Dark (8-13) at Newmarket 7f hcp (3) gf in Jul.
