Verdict
Elle Est Beau is improving with experience and should be suited by this step up in trip. Fable is only a pound higher than when scoring over fences last season but WHISKY EXPRESS has won on soft going and ran well on her reappearance last season when 2lb higher. She gets the vote as Pretending is proving expensive to follow and was beaten when falling at Fakenham last month.
