Some top fillies take the stage in this superb Group two contest and we will select Nannina to snatch a second Royal victory, Flashy Wings, Echelon and Satwa Queen are all big dangers. John Gosden's filly landed the Coronation Cup at last year's meeting, comfortably beating today's rival Flashy Wings. The ground was riding fast on that occasion which certainly suited the winner. If the rain stays away from the Berkshire track she should have no problems with the current surface and she looks the one to beat. Flashy Wings has always been held in high regard by the stable and it is amazing that she didn't manage a win at three. However she is relatively lightly raced and may have improved over the winter. Satwa Queen has been running well over longer trips recently but was successful over a mile as a three-year-old. She has already landed a couple of Group two events and this well travelled filly has to be respected. The other Gallic raider Gwenseb ran against some top performers last season and wasn't disgraced, meanwhile Sir Michael Stoute's Echelon has done nothing wrong this season with two Group three victories under her belt. Bahia Breeze and Expensive are capable of ruffling a few feathers as well, and so in a very competitive renewal Nannina just edges the decision.
