MASCARENE is from powerful connections and she looks ready to win after another improved effort last time. She wasn't held that far but a subsequent winner and with another future scorer in behind that day the form looks strong. Fascination has a clear chance for Michael Bell after a string of near misses while both John Gosden and Henry Cecil are on form at present so both Scorn and Dolphina need respecting. Mascarene though looks marginally the most progressive.
