      Verdict

      Cavatina can return to her previous progressive form after disappointing at Listed level, but PERFECTION looks the likeliest winner here. She won a good handicap here before performing with credit in the Sandringham and off the same mark, will take some stopping in this grade. Poetic Charm ran poorly at Royal Ascot on her return, so is best watched, while Whitefountainfairy and Elysium Dream need the handicapper to relent.
