Uig won well last time and she defy a penalty to score again here; Naughty Thoughts and Fascinatin Rhythm are the obvious dangers. The selection won with a little in hand when she beat Miss Jolyon at Lingfield last time, and although she has gone up 6lbs for that success she does not have a lot to beat here and she looks like she should be up to the task. Naughty Thoughts does have ability but she has never won on the turf and this trip is far from ideal as she has yet to prove herself over this far. Fascinatin Rhythm is dropped in trip today but she will have to settle better than she did last time out if she is to get her head in front on this occasion. It will be a surprise if Star of Pompey is good enough, and for the winner we will stick with Uig who can win again.
