Wasseema has a penalty to carry for her Valiant Stakes success but Sir Michael Stoute's filly has a progressive profile and is taken to win again with the main dangers looking to be La Mottie and Bahia Breeze. The last mentioned disappointed at Newmarket over seven furlongs last time but should do better back over this trip, while Tiana is less exposed than most of these and could be open to more improvement. Innocent Air could be of interest dropping back in distance, while Expensive is better than recent evidence would maybe suggest. Jeremy Noseda's La Mottie looks to be going the right way now and is another to consider but the vote goes to Wasseema, who is hard to oppose in her current form.
