Lady Lara looks the form pick on her third in last week's May Hill at Doncaster, when she wasn't unfancied. She'll probably start favourite but is a lot more exposed than her rivals. Fashion Fund will almost certainly be suited by the step up to 7f while Sweet Acclaim showed a willing attitude to score at Yarmouth and Persian Bolt will improve on her fifth at Salisbury when ahead of favourite Dime Dancer but behind ROSEHILL ARTIST. It's interesting that Charlie Hills feels comfortable taking on the other two again under a penalty and his Excellent Art filly can double her tally. Water Queen represents a stable in fine form and, though she'll be suited by further in time, is one to note.
