Verdict

REMEMBER WHEN has been placed in two classics yet remains a maiden though that should be rectified here. Fourth behind Bethrah in the 1,000 Guineas here she still looked a little short of experience when just failing to last out the 1m4f in the Oaks at Epsom and everything is in her favour. Akdarena looked out of sorts with herself when attempting to make all at Epsom and was quickly swallowed up by the pack. She can do better over today's trip but has plenty to find with the selection. Crystal Gal stayed on from an unpromising position in the Guineas and will be suited by the longer trip, a remark that also applies to Lolly For Dolly, who was just behind. The older brigade are headed by Chinese White, who loves it around here and won the Group 2 Blandford Stakes in September, while Godolphin's Flying Cloud will be better for her run behind Sariska in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York last month. Saphira's Fire is useful but has generally failed when stepped out of Listed company.
