Moment Of Time was fancied to land a maiden at Bath on her return from a break but was well beaten. She should have come on for that but Hawaafez makes more appeal as she'd gone close over C&D before failing to stay in the Queen's Vase at Ascot. Milnagavie continues to improve though this is tougher than the race she won at Kempton in August and Tameen has done all her winning with cut in the ground. Fine Threads and Vita Lika have scope for improvement, but JUST LILLE is preferred. Both of this year's wins have been in claimers, but she may be underestimated here as she beat higher rated horses than she faces today when scoring at York back in May and won easily at Musselburgh last time.
