Verdict
The maiden Lupo D'Oro is probably worth opposing again but there doesn't look much to choose between the remaining eight runners here. Bartolomeu was just caught by Mince over an extra furlong here last time and is only 3lb higher, while Tioman Pearl won by five lengths when dropped to the minimum at Windsor. Heeraat has plenty of pace so should be suited by 5f, though was behind O'Gorman over 6f at Haydock three weeks ago. Annie Beach ran a cracker on her reappearance at York but a 10lb rise looks harsh and she has to give a couple of pounds now to MILIIKA. Rae Guest's filly didn't get the run of the race at Windsor last time but was only beaten a neck and, as her Brighton win came over a longer trip, she won't be stopping up the hill here. Powerful Wind had subsequent Goodwood scorer Muaamara well behind at York previously and can confirm that running here.
