Expressive may well be popular given her profile however LADY FRANCESCA has an official rating of 94 and it should take a smart one to lower her colours. Willie Muir's Montjeu filly has been highly tried this season, contesting Listed races at Goodwood, Ascot and Longchamp. She performed with lots of credit on the first two occasions and although the lack of a win to her name is an obvious worry now, she looks capable of putting this modest bunch to the sword. Expressive is rated 69 and Sir Michael Stoute's filly has a decent enough profile. She has been unlucky to bump into some nice horses in August and already proven on this surface this half-sister to Echelon should run well once again. Cappagh Strand looks the most interesting of the Irish runners and Kieren Fallon looks an interesting jockey booking as the horse steps back up in trip, whilst jockey bookings would suggest that Herecomethegirls may be of more interest when encountering handicaps after this run. Not a strong race at all and it is the top-rated Lady Francesca who is fancied to take all the beating.
