Maria Bella went close in a similar grade recently and beat Perfect Persuasion over track and trip in June. The latter has since gone close on more than one occasion and is preferred to Maggie Pink and Khatiba. Tawteen beat Emirates Joy at Wolverhampton and may well find the improvement necessary to get involved in this better company but another chance goes to ARTISTIC CHARM. The latter unseated after being hampered at York last time but went close at Newmarket before that and this looks less competitive.
