Verdict
BAHRIKATE’s run here last month is best ignored as she was badly hampered. Her only win came around here and she’d only gone down by a neck at Wetherby on her penultimate start so heads the short-list, despite a 6lb higher mark. Cosmic Tigress is back on a winning mark but hasn’t been running well lately. Hidden Dilemma is unexposed and apparently on an upward curve so looks a danger while Jolie Crickette is still slipping down the weights. Quantum Of Solace won off a 4lb higher mark in 2016 and has been lightly-raced since.
