Dutch Rose was unbeaten in four starts on the track, including this a year ago, before beaten last month. The assessor has dropped her a couple of pounds and given her a chance of a repeat. The handicapper raised BRAGGING (NAP) 10lb after her demolition job over a strong field at Newmarket and was by no means harsh. Sir Michael Stoute's filly was having just her fourth start and even a mark of 97 shouldn't prevent another victory. The Gold Cheongsam, who finished runner-up in that latter race, is entitled to get closer but unlikely to turn the tables. Irish raider Sparkle Factor was narrowly beaten in a Listed contest last time so could prove a threat while Enraptured is just the type of progressive filly John Gosden does so well with at this time of the year and she'll be better for last month's reappearance after a long break.
