LIBRITISH didn't appear to get into top gear until the closing stages over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and by then it was too late to catch the winner. This longer distance will suit Marco Botti's unexposed filly and she can get off the mark. Pintrada landed a double earlier this season and can figure dropping down a grade, but Anton Dolin's winning run came to an end at Newbury after his latest 6lb rise. Waltz Darling is hard to fancy but Qushchi has claims on May's third to Brown Panther at Haydock.
