LAUGH ALOUD is still progressing and it would be no surprise to see her in the mix after an easy win at Epsom last time. Usherette will do well to win back-to-back renewals of this after some uninspiring performances but she can't be dismissed if she can find her form again. Mick Channon does well in pattern races with his fillies and he saddles Opal Tiara who still appears to be on an upward curve and ran a fine race in Meydan earlier this year in similar conditions.
