Verdict

Robert Mills has found a good opportunity for BUT BEAUTIFUL to complete a hat-trick on the course. A hugely expensive daughter of Pivotal, she scored over 6f here early last month before returning to complete the double over this trip. Another furlong won't go amiss later but she's very much on the upgrade and this handicap mark should soon be left behind. Pragmatist has done better over 6f and Bold Ring looks a more potent threat. Edward Creighton's mare was beaten only half-a-length by But Beautiful two weeks ago and is slightly better off. She has since run reasonably well over 6f at Wolverhampton and can reach a place here. Profligate is still a maiden but has performed with credit on both starts over the C&D.
