Verdict
It's difficult to have much confidence in any of these. Black Truffle is usually in the mix without actually winning and finished just ahead of Frans Hals at Kempton last time. Devout is another threatening to lose her maiden tag but is creeping up the weights while selling stakes winner Schottische was well beaten back in a handicap last time. DUBAI APPLAUSE has some improving to do on her handicap debut but should appreciate today's extra furlong and Charlie Hills' filly gets a tentative vote.
