A Group 3 winner last year, WITH THANKS is clear of these at the weights. She’ll be sharper for a comeback run at Haydock and gets the vote. The progressive Double Or Bubble found life tough in a Group 2 at Ascot last time but can finish much closer in this while Highfield Princess won the Buckingham Palace handicap at Ascot and is worth a try at this level. The remainder have plenty to find on these terms with Ryan Moore’s mount Shimmering Dawn perhaps best of them on her second at the All-Weather Championships back in April.
