Alice's Dancer has more to do than when winning at Brighton last month but did have the disappointing Authoritarian back in fourth and should confirm the form. There are possibilities about Leicester second Malekat Jamal if she stays the extra furlong and Four Leaves is getting closer and was only beaten half-a-length at Lingfield last month. The well-bred MISS CAP ESTEL, who won at Ffos Las and Chester last year, makes her seasonal reappearance but it's interesting that she's been kept in training as she'll be a valuable commodity when sent to stud. She gets a tentative vote as Ascot disappointment Fulney may need another run to blow away the cobwebs.
