Augustus Caesar missed the break and ran green at Ripon last weekend and will know much more here. Pop Dancer couldn't quite get to previous winner Tomfre over 6f here nine days ago but it was a fine run and she looks certain to get into the action. Queen's Order cost E50,000 and is a half-sister to three winners but a chance is taken with ISHVARA. Robert Cowell's Dutch Art filly is a sister to a winner and half-sister to another and out of a 6f winner and Silvestre De Sousa has been booked. Ellenor Gray has improved with each run but may do better over another furlong.
