Verdict

A big run from Plum Sugar in the previous race will point to the chances of Bob Le Beau, who beat her when conceding 16lb over 1m4f here last time. This is much tougher however with the very consistent She's Our Mark, who won at Listed and Group 3 level last season, certain to go well and VISCOUNT NELSON looking a cut above on last season's form. Aidan O'Brien's colt disappointed on his reappearance at Sandown but took some time to warm up in the last campaign before fine efforts in three Group 1's including when just a length behind Twice Over in the Eclipse at Sandown. It will be a big disappointment to Coolmore if he can't win at Listed level as he has entries in most of the major summer middle-distance races.
