Verdict

Estihlal is a filly in form and she looks capable of taking this three-year-old handicap, with Peruvian Style and Who's Winning others to consider in a race that is not particularly competitive. Estihlal has won two of her last five starts and been near enough on the other three, including at Thirsk last time under a penalty, to leave us feeling confident that she is holding her form well. This is an easier prospect than last time, trip and ground both suit and we are not going to oppose her. Peruvian Style made a good return to form when beaten just a length into fifth behind Tony The Tap at Epsom last time, and with some similarities in the track he should be suited well enough to go close again here at the weights, while Who's Winning also came back to form in claiming company at Warwick last time, and while this will be tougher, he can again go well for the in-form Seb Sanders. Even so, Estihlal is the one they all have to beat here and she gets the vote.
