In depth

Verdict

Proud And Elated has now had 14 starts without winning though her overall form gives her a real chance to finally get off the mark in this company. However, SABRINA FAIRCHILD has much more scope and she wouldn't need to improve on her excellent second to the well-regarded Peshkova here last month to go one better. Modern Love would comfortably be the pick on last year's form but the fact that she hasn't raced for over a year and has changed stables tempers enthusiasm. Al Batal was behind the selection last time and did better on Turf earlier.
