Race preview
Bittalemon should have learned plenty from her opening bid when finishing sixth at Newbury last month and William Haggas' filly must enter calculations. However, LOVE YOU DARLING, a half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner American Sonja, makes slightly more appeal. The daughter of Land Force finished a close-up second over a mile on her reappearance at Goodwood earlier this month and this step up in distance could unlock more improvement. The downgraded Divine Presence is also noted.
