AFLAME was twice beaten when short prices at Lingfield in June and didn't have much to beat in a fillies' handicap here earlier this month. But she did it in the style of a progressive type and she's at the right end of the handicap. Fullon Clarets has won on the all-weather but has had 17 starts on Turf without winning though she went very close at Ayr last time. Run To The Hills was only narrowly beaten on her first two starts on Tapeta and Polytrack then found a mile just beyond him at Chelmsford so he would be a threat if taking to Turf. Doctor Bong ran very well at this level at Sandown recently and looks best of the remainder.
