Different Face made all to beat Bungledupinblue at Lingfield and could be an interesting contender in this. John Quinn won this in 2018 and plunges Miss Nay Never into Listed company after just one promising run at Thirsk, where she blew the start and ran green. SARDINIA SUNSET (NAP) was only headed approaching the final furlong when fourth in the Queen Mary. The third has already franked the form and Roger Varian’s filly appears to have nothing to fear from Pelekai and Sands Of Time on the form book. Blackberry was always doing just enough to score at Hamilton so is preferred to Country Carnival and Furlong Factor of the others.
