PERFECT ANGEL (NAP) was beaten by higher-rated rivals than these when third at York last time and found only one too good in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury before that - she should make a bold bid. Easy Victory drops back down in trip after a couple of modest efforts in Group races and a similar comment applies to Mystic Dawn, who was ahead of Pellucid when second in a Group 3 at Salisbury last month. Loving is upped in class after winning a maiden at Yarmouth while Spy Ring pops over from Ireland but looks to have a bit to find on these terms. Dainty Dandy has a chance at the weights but has posted a couple of poor efforts since placing at Ascot in July.
