Improvised never figured in a Group 3 at Tipperary last month but was second in this grade at Musselburgh in June and could outrun big odds. Mystic Wells was only beaten a head in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield in May and taking on Group 2 opposition at Ascot subsequently. WHITEBEAM looks a very progressive filly and could take this step up in class in her stride given she had Crystal Caprice, who has rattled up a hat-trick since, almost five lengths behind over this trip at Newbury in June and is 6lb better off. Zanbaq never looked like winning a Group 3 at Ascot in July but looks a threat to all in this grade as she is weighted to confirm earlier form at the Berkshire track with Crenelle.
