Fast ground would be a worry for supporters of Mill Reef second Perfect Angel but fillies have held their own in this Listed contest down the years. Rosebride probably surpassed expectations when second in the Firth Of Clyde at Ayr but is tough and she holds Queensbrydge on that run. Silver Line was fourth in the July Stakes before finding the company too hot in the Middle Park and is back at the right level but Sir Dancealot's best form has come over 7f. De Boss Man has travelled over from Ireland, where he was placed in a Group 3 in August, but LOST AT SEA has more scope. Very green at Doncaster, he still found enough to beat favourite Dream Of Dreams and is reported to have impressed in his work since. Though 5lb worse off, Karl Burke's charge can confirm the form and is preferred to stablemate Parnassian. Rich And Famous won as he liked at Newmarket but this is a big step up.
