Verdict
This is a better race than the one REMEMBER ME won at Lingfield and she's 6lb higher. But it's possible that Hughie Morrison's filly is on an upward curve, which is probably more than you can say about her rivals. Chepstow runner-up Polymnia could be an exception and she looks the danger as Wahaab usually finds at least one too good and only ran at Windsor on Monday evening. Exoplanet Blue was in decent form on Polytrack in April but has shown nothing since returning to Turf.
