TOP FROCK asserted herself inside the final furlong over a shorter trip at Lingfield last time and today's extra distance should suit. Clive Cox's filly gets the nod ahead of Zaahya, another likely improver stepping up in trip. Ironically went close over 1m4f at Windsor last month and should go well again although both Secret Era and Raving Monsun will need to step up on their latest efforts to figure. C&D winner Dazzling Valentine is back on a winning mark and looks best of the rest.
