    Verdict

    Portrait only beat Bee Jay Kay by half-a-length over 1m4f at Bath and is 7lb worse off here. Though there may be more come over this longer trip, we'll take on Sir Mark Prescott's filly in her bid for a four-timer in this higher grade. LADY PIMPERNEL was just outbattled by Debdebdeb over this trip at Sandown three weeks ago and lost nothing in defeat and fourth Sizzler may struggle to reverse that form on only 3lb better terms. Henry Candy's filly can open her seasonal account with Interior Minister getting little respite from the handicapper and Sandown scorer Lion Beacon letting supporters down at Haydock off his new mark.
