Verdict

The relatively lightly raced She's So Pretty looks to be going the right way now following a respectable third at Bath last time and is taken to open his account here, with the main threats looking to be Summer of Love and Piano Key. The last mentioned showed improved form in a first time visor last time over a mile at Warwick but he is not certain to appreciate the return to further today so looks best watched. Penny From Heaven may improve for the step up in trip but is hard to recommend on recent form, while La Cuvee needs to improve on all known form to trouble the judge. Summer of Love has not seemingly stayed 1m4f and may do better dropped back in distance but preference is for She's So Pretty, who has shown progressive form of late and gets the vote.
