Jessica Harrington sends Astadash from Ireland but she'll need to improve on what she's shown to date. BLACK LOTUS is officially top-rated and she had A La Voile and Arriviste just behind when placed in a similar contest at Nottingham last month. This isn't the strongest Listed race ever run here and she can get back to winning ways. Bharani Star was highly-tried after dead-heating for a Class 5 Haydock handicap last June while Anastarsia's only success came on Tapeta at Newcastle. Pholas has made great progress in the last few weeks, completing a double in the All-Weather Fillies' Championship at Lingfield then not beaten far at this level at Goodwood.
