GOODNIGHT GIRL looks worth sticking with in her current mood. It took her eight attempts to get off the mark but she followed up a win here at the start of last month with a close second over course and distance and then won a shade cosily at Newbury. Restless Rose is also running well and was only beaten a head at Newmarket last time by a filly who went close again at Haydock earlier this week. Dotted Swiss is back on a winning mark so can’t be ignored while Exceedingly Diva should strip fitter for a run at Salisbury but Poet's Princess is looking a little exposed.
