A cracking renewal but the three-year-olds will all need to improve to beat two very good older fillies who have come on in leaps and bounds this season. Double Or Bubble was second in this grade at Goodwood after winning a Listed race at Pontefract but couldn’t get past HIGHFIELD PRINCESS (NAP) when the pair met at Chelmsford in July. John Quinn’s charge ran another excellent race in the Group 2 City Of York last month and that’s the best form on offer. Of the younger fillies, Deauville runner-up Just Beautiful is respected and we may not yet have seen the best of Potapova but Statement is in danger of becoming disappointing. Loch Lein is preferred to Wren's Breath of the Irish-trained runners.
