A four-year-old has won this eight times in the last 10 years and Sir Michael Stoute won it twice in the Noughties so everything points to a big run from VIVIONN, who couldn’t match the finishing speed of Gold Wand over 1m4f at York three weeks ago and seems certain to be suited by this first try over the longer distance. Alpinista may have been flattered by her run behind Love in the Yorkshire Oaks and the extra 3f could catch her out but there are no stamina doubts surrounding the in-form Believe In Love and Pista, who both won over 1m6f last time, while Monica Sheriff should strip fitter for her fourth in the Ebor. Snow ran in the Irish Oaks after winning a Group 3 at Cork but she went out like a light last time at Goodwood.
