Astrocharm has to be respected on her reappearance but the Mark Tompkins-trained mare faces no easy task under her penalty for a Group 3 success at Goodwood last season and preference is for Rave Reviews, who gets the vote ahead of Tartouche. The selection is a daughter of Sadler's Wells but handles fast ground perfectly well and is entitled to come on for an encouraging return behind Day Flight in the John Porter. Amanda Perrett's Autumn Wealth was progressive last term as a three-year-old but this represents a step up in class for her return and of more interest may be stablemate Simonda, who ran on well when landing a Nottingham handicap last month on her return. Charlie Cyzer's Boot 'n Toot has plenty to find with the selection on a lone through Day Flight and a bigger threat may come from Paul Webber's Louve Royale, who showed decent form in France last term and makes her debut for new connections today. The Lady Herries-trained Tartouche made a winning return at Newmarket last month and, while the form of that handicap is mixed, she has to be respected given her profile. Rave Reviews holds an obvious chance at the weights though and she is preferred.
