Lincoln Rocks races off a 2lb lower mark than when landing this 12 months ago. Victory Wave is still improving and seems oblivious to ground conditions - she holds Florenza on the form book. Move Swiftly is also progressing and on a hat-trick but an 8lb rise looks harsh. Betty F ran on well from an unpromising position at Goodwood and Starlight Romance loves it here but the vote goes to PREENING. James Fanshawe’s filly has finished close up in a couple of Listed races since winning easily in handicap company at Sandown and that may be the best form on offer. Crossing The Line and Clubbable look the pick of the remainder.
