Eton did not have ground conditions to suit last time but still ran a decent race and has to be respected back on a faster surface but the eight-year-old faces no easy task giving weight away to Sunny Lady, who gets the vote over Stealing Beauty. The last mentioned is a daughter of Sadler's Wells trained by Luca Cumani and would probably prefer a softer surface and of more interest may be Hugh Morrison's Kythia, who has shown a consistent level of form in maidens and latterly in a handicap. The seven-year-old Desert Island Disc is on a long losing sequence and preference is for Sunny Lady. Ed Dunlop's filly opened her account when landing a maiden handicap over course and distance last month under a strong Frankie Dettori ride but had shown decent form previously and is taken to follow up in a race that should not take a great deal of winning.
