WILD STORM has won both starts so far this year and beat a couple of previous winners when scoring at Windsor recently. That was also her first outing since April so further progress is expected from the Godolphin filly as she steps up in trip. Return Ace is another on the upgrade having landed a double at Kempton while Donna Graciosa is chasing a four-timer having won her latest start at Musselburgh by four lengths. Sagaciously went close on the July course here in between more modest efforts but recent Windsor runner-up Melodica is upped in class and More Mischief now looks high enough in the weights.
