Myristica won over course and distance last August but the recent Redcar runner-up still looks a few pounds too high. Miss Harmony was third on her Turf debut at Newmarket but stamina is a concern over this longer trip. Windsor second Sweet Fantasy will relish the extra but REEL ROSIE was very impressive at HQ last month and she may well shrug off a 9lb hike in the ratings ahead of Cape Helles, who did well to beat an odds-on favourite at Carlisle on just her third career start.
