Set To Music couldn't cope with the step up to Group 2 company in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock last time but still makes most appeal of the older horses. Proven at this level, she should go very close but has to give plenty of weight to the three-year-old KHIONE. The latter only won a handicap over 1m2f here last time but Luca Cumani rarely gets it wrong when raising his fillies into pattern company and she'll almost certainly improve for the longer trip. Ambivalent is another lightly-raced sort who should improve past the more exposed Naseem Alyasmeen, and Roxy Flyer looks best of the remainder having finished ahead of Zafarana at Lingfield last season.
