Naughty Girl can prevail at the expense of And Toto Too and Thurlestone Rock, with B A Highflyer not out of it either. The latter was a beaten favourite at Pontefract but did little wrong in going down by only a short-head to Val De Maal, the pair clear, and is sure to be in the shake-up again. Thurlestone Rock also found one too good last time when runner-up at Epsom, but that was a good effort as he had broken a blood vessel the time before. And Toto Too always seems to be involved but may again be found wanting at the finish, with Naughty Girl the pick on her latest effort at Windsor where she stuck to her task really well, only finding Miss George too good. That was an improvement on her earlier Hamilton victory, which coincided with the step up to six furlongs. It should be a keenly fought affair, but Michael Bell's filly can defy topweight.
