Pulcinella is better than her run at Ascot suggests as she didn't enjoy the best of passages and her pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit. MUSIC AND DANCE (NAP) has a very similar profile and, being by Galileo, is another who will enjoy stepping up in trip after staying on over a mile at Sandown and with progress guaranteed she looks the one to be on. Melodious has won twice on soft ground so any further rain will greatly aid her cause and she's still progressing while Tazffin gained many admirers when scoring at Windsor despite finding a mile on the short side. Covert Love needed a stronger test of stamina than she got at Chelmsford but still won well and doesn't look badly treated on a mark of 83 for her handicap debut.
