Verdict
Leicester winner All My Love and The Special House have attempted today's distance before but neither threatened while Mistamel is hard to fancy on his recent form. The remainder all step up in trip but Baker's pedigree doesn't inspire confidence and Born To Be Bad is now 10lb higher than when scoring over a mile at Wolverhampton. That leaves DEVONSHIRE PLACE, whose breeding suggests she should find 1m2f within her compass and Roger Charlton's filly gets a tentative vote on her handicap debut.
