Not too many of these are in the best of form and stakes should remain conservative but FLUTTERBEE has been in decent form in modest handicaps and George Baker has never been shy of dropping stable charges into selling grade in search of victory. His filly has a really consistent profile, continues in good heart and seems one of the few sure to run her race. Pastoral Star is more lightly-raced than most and didn't perform too badly when third in a Windsor claimer latest while Frivolous Lady landed a seller and a claimer in the winter campaign and will appreciate the drop in grade after being outclassed in handicap company last time. She could well be the one to bustle up the selection if back to her best. Cautious Optimism has shown little this season but has claims at this level if recapturing his decent juvenile form.
