The progressive John Gosden-trained filly PERSUASIVE remains unbeaten after four starts as she steadily makes her way through the ranks. She landed a Listed race at Ascot with the minimum of fuss and hasn’t stopped improving yet. Epsom Icon won a Group 3 before running well again at the Curragh behind the higher rated Bocca Baciata and has every chance while Spirit Raiser is another on the up having won in Listed company at Pontefract. Blond Me will find this easier than her recent tasks in Group 2 contests while Mix And Mingle finished ahead of both Pirouette and Red Box when going close at Haydock a fortnight ago.
