The most experienced in the line-up and the pick on form; won twice on the Rowley course here in the spring and she found only one too good in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge here (6f, good) four weeks ago, keeping on well in a manner that suggests this longer trip will suit; the one to beat.

By New Bay; first foal of Chartered, who won a middle-distance handicap as a 3yo for Ralph Beckett; trainer (also saddles Fregola) has made no more than a fair start with juveniles this spring and the market is often the best guide with his newcomers.
