MATILDA PICOTTE (NAP) travelled over from Ireland to finish a respectable third in the Lowther at York in August. She finished ahead of subsequent Cheveley Park third Mawj on that occasion and that looks the strongest form on offer. Believing went close in a Group 3 at Ayr when ahead of Marine Wave and the disappointing All The Time. She subsequently had the measure of Queen Olly in the Oh So Sharp here earlier in the month while Ryan Moore abandons Immortal Beauty and partners the Pontefract maiden winner Kitai.
