Verdict
Clive Brittain's Dami has won her last two starts and is taken to complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Serramanna and Rock Lobster. The selection was all out to win at Epsom over nine furlongs last time and should be better suited by today's slightly longer trip and softer surface. The David Evans-trained Doctored has been beaten off today's mark in each of his last three starts and may have to settle for a minor role again here, with a bigger threat likely to come from Serramanna. Henry Cecil's filly is less exposed than most of these and is surely better than her last time out effort at Doncaster suggests. Course and distance winner Rock Lobster is still feasibly well treated and has to be respected, while a market move for Charlie Tango would be of interest. Mick Easterby's Newcastle winner Dance To My Tune steps up in trip today and could be interesting being by Halling but the vote goes to Dami.
