Scantily Clad showed speed when putting in an improved display at Nottingham so with the drop back to five furlongs likely to suit she must be respected, but her overall level of form remains some way below that of FLORESTANS MATCH who can deservedly get off the mark. Ralph Beckett has his yard in good order and his filly found only a subsequent Listed winner too good at Salisbury when last seen, having previously chased home Antepost Oaks favourite White Moonstone who romped to success in the Group Two May Hill Stakes at Doncaster last week; a repeat of either effort should see her beat these with something to spare. Manoori is a speedily-bred newcomer who needs a check in the market but along with Captain Kolo she'll face easier opportunities than this.
