TAQDEES is no stable star on the evidence of three modest efforts to date but the Gosden filly may prove good enough in this stepping up in trip. She has the beating of the older Grey's Angel on these terms but Loose Ends may prove a threat. The latter has a recent run under her belt and is preferred to the returning Admiral's Sunset, who represents last year’s winning trainer. The remainder are harder to fancy on what little they have shown so far.
