Spangled only beat Muffri'Ha by a length over 7f on the July course here in the summer and the runner-up is 2lb better off today. There shouldn't be much between that pair over today's extra furlong. Ascot winner Light And Shade may still be progressing and is worth a try in this grade. She may improve past Solar Magic, who has proved difficult to place since winning her maiden in July of last year, but could find LAVENDER LANE too classy. Silvestre De Sousa partners the French challenger, not beaten far in last year's Prix de l'Opera, for John Hammond and she can get back to winning ways dropped in grade after two runs over further this year.
