Verdict

A Woman In Love is in great heart and comes here seeking a five-timer and, despite the fact that she has risen 21 pounds in the ratings as consequence of those victories, the way she won at Lingfield last time suggested that she can go well again. Even off topweight, Dance On The Top can run well even though the best of his recent form has been on the all-weather. The lightly-raced Low Cloud will attract support with Frankie Dettori riding for David Nicholls, and his chance is not a forlorn one, and the same can be said of Mark Johnston's Mbosi, who is beautifully bred and is getting better with each run, is another to give respect to and Kieren Fallon is reunited with Qualitair Wings, on whom he has won before, but the handicapper might have his measure at present. Madamoiselle Jones remains three-pounds higher than for her latest win, and Habanero will prefer this shorter trip than that which he raced over last time and is not without a chance. Finally, Hollywood Treetops defied an absence to score in first-time cheekpieces last time and a two-pound rise seems fair, so he too is not without hope. All in all, though, we will stick with A Woman In Love.
