Three-year-olds have won seven of the last ten renewals which doesn't bode well for the chances of recent winners Goldtrek and On Khee, though last month's C&D winner On The Feather is harder to dismiss. Sunday Bess and Sugar Hiccup have scope for improvement in handicaps, but hat-trick hero Twin Soul and Thirsk runner-up Istishaara look a shade too high in the weights now. AMISTRESS had today's rival Undulant Way behind when scoring on the turf at Lingfield before another good effort in better company at Goodwood a fortnight ago. This looks less competitive and Eve Johnson-Houghton's filly gets the vote.
