Khatiba and Bint Dandy have both shown themselves to be better on the all-weather so far while Persona Grata will be having her first start today on Turf having been taken out of a race at Newmarket on Saturday. BOLD LASS was well backed to win a fillies' handicap over this trip at Ascot in September and didn't disappoint. She reappears off a 5lb higher mark but goes well fresh and has the going in her favour again so looks the one to beat. Bridie ffrench was only beaten a short-head at Doncaster last month but has been raised 3lb for that effort.
