Babindi has suffered a couple of narrow defeats since winning at Bath in July. By contrast, NELL QUICKLY keeps doing enough to get her head in front and further improvement can’t be ruled out from Denis Coakley’s filly who is taken to give 13lb to Crema Inglesa, who steps up in trip. Jasmine Joy enjoyed the longer distance at Yarmouth and an earlier second to Free Wind at Doncaster has worked out well. Beholding, Sammarr and Mellow Magic represent top yards but the former is making her debut on the Turf and the latter remains winless.
