Winning form is thin on the ground in this nursery so Chitra and Tobeeornottobee, both successful on their penultimate starts, have to go on the short-list. Dark Panther makes some appeal on last month’s fourth at Kempton from near the foot of the weights while On Route has found only one too good in recent starts on the all-weather off this mark. Good Looker also warrants a mention along with the unexposed Cambeleza and Carlisle third Majestic Appeal but a tentative vote goes to FROSTED LASS, who was placed over this trip at Thirsk last month and didn’t enjoy the drop back to 5f at Musselburgh 11 days ago.
