ALIVE ALIVE OH was denied a run in the Ribblesdale at Ascot last week, the race in which Princess Highway made her name last year, but she should make the line-up here and can confirm the good impression she made when easily winning the Salsabil Stakes over this trip at Navan last month. Princess Highway has gone off the boil and is now tried in blinkers but there are other smart fillies among the older horses including the consistent La Collina and last year's Epsom Oaks first and second, Was and Shirocco Star. Ambivalent finished tailed off on her only previous try at this level, however, while Newbury winner Cruck Realta also needs more. Harasiya and Rehn's Nest have a bit to prove now along with Say.
