Verdict
This is Stonecrabstomorrow's level and he didn't fare badly when third at Goodwood five days ago. Do More Business deserves to get his head in front again and holds several of these on the form book but it's a while since Mary's Pet showed any worthwhile form, though she is relatively unexposed on turf. It took SILCA CONEGLIANO 23 attempts to get off the mark but Mick Channon's filly remains well handicapped as a result and can follow up her C&D win 13 days ago. Athaakeel is probably the pick of the remainder.
