Verdict

Saeed Bin Suroor has won this for the past two years and will be expecting RUMH to complete a treble. The German-bred filly has taken some time to find her feet but did so in very impressive fashion in a Listed event at Newbury last week where she looked a potential Group winner. She faces another quarter-mile here but it shouldn't be a problem and this looks within her capabilities. Banimpire makes an even quicker reappearance having won a Group 3 over this trip at Cork on Sunday. Jim Bolger doesn't waste entries in this country and he must believe his tough filly is capable of following up. Dorcas Lane looked as though a longer trip would suit when storming to victory in a Newbury Group 3 over 1m2f and can make her presence felt, while Zain Al Boldan is certainly much better than she showed in the Oaks where Epsom's gradients didn't appeal to her. Highest will need to improve on her defeat by Beatrice Aurore at Goodwood and Look At Me finished last in the Irish 1000 Guineas and steps up dramatically in distance. The latter's stablemate Make My Heart Sing landed a moderate contest at Cork but at least we know she stays the trip and Pat Smullen will ensure she sets a stamina test.
