Out of a Listed-placed 9.7f winning half-sister to three Group winners; 10-1 at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on her debut last Thursday but she tracked the leaders before staying on strongly to score in good style; that was a bright start and she's respected under a penalty.

Verdict

The one that stands out on form is SHE’S HOT, who wasn’t disgraced in the Albany at Royal Ascot and has finished runner-up in her other two starts including behind a useful rival at Goodwood three weeks ago. She gets the vote, ahead of Peace Of Mine who made a good start with her comfortable win at Salisbury last week and is respected under a penalty. Imperial Dream and Roar Emotion have each-way claims, while the pick of the two newcomers could be Almarin.[David Moon]
