        Verdict

        Last year’s 1000 Guineas winner CACHET (NAP) makes a belated return to action. She’s clear at the weights but made a winning reappearance in the Nell Gwyn last season and Ryan Moore’s presence boosts confidence. Magical Sunset landed a Group 3 on soft ground at Goodwood and beat Dream Of Love and Matilda Picotte in the process while Potapova isn't a regular winner though finished in front of Queen Aminatu in a Group 2 at Ascot in June. Andrew Balding has a good recent record in this and Listed winner Vetiver has scope upped in class along with the progressive handicapper Nigiri.
