    In depth

    Verdict

    Royal Family has little chance in this company while King Power is on something of a recovery mission. Well beaten in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield before struggling in the Italian Oaks back in June, Andrew Balding’s Frankel filly will likely improve for this extra distance but that can also be said of FLY THE FLAG. The Gosden filly was doing her best work at the finish over 1m2f at Windsor last time and the half-sister to stablemate and Group 1 winner Coronet gets the vote in this.
