Decisive went close over 6f at Brighton recently and steps up in distance along with Lady Atlas, who scored over the same trip here back in April. Roxie Lot is another with something to prove over a mile having gone well over 7f last time while Royal Caper won over 7f at Kempton early in the year. But SCHOTTISCHE is at home over today's trip and now back on a winning mark, Alan Bailey's mare may prove good enough in this.
