Verdict
Whitehotchillifili would probably be the form pick on her third in a Grade 2 at Ascot two runs ago but she is not very consistent nowadays. Bellatrixsa beat KISSESFORKATIE (NAP) and Volkovka at Ludlow last month but Jeremy Scott’s mare comes out best at the weights of that trio today so gets the nod. Swincombe Fleat was out of her depth at Sandown last time and may also struggle to get involved here.
