SEVENTH HEAVEN is the obvious form pick here so it's a surprise to find Ryan Moore on board stable companion Rain Goddess. The former won the Irish and Yorkshire Oaks last season and though not seen since landing the Jockey Club Stakes in May is unlikely to be found wanting for fitness. Rain Goddess, runner-up to Enable in this year's Oaks here, landed a Group 3 over slightly shorter here last month from Sir Michael Stoute's Intimation and the Newmarket handler sends Smart Call for this. She's been running well at the highest level while Dermot Weld runs last year's winner Shamreen, who was a very easy winner of the Royal Whip here last month.
