Sorelle Delle Rose is upped 7lb for winning a handicap over 7f here recently but still gets weight from the older horses Mizaah and Gymkhana. The former has only won a maiden so far but the latter scored at Naas earlier. Escape Clause will likely appreciate the drop back to a mile on an earlier second at Naas but UPGRADED is preferred. The latter won a maiden here by three lengths on her latest start and further progress is expected form John Oxx’ filly in this.
