Sir Michael Stoute sent out last year’s winner but Blushing Rose has returned a losing favourite in four of five starts in handicaps now and it could pay to stick with the less exposed GLITTERING JEWEL. The Godolphin filly opened her account with a facile maiden win at Wolverhampton last month having failed to figure in a Group 3 race in France before that. Sagely ran well carrying top weight at Salisbury last time and can figure once again but both Prosper and the returning Mia Tesoro have something to prove off their current marks.
