Verdict
Jillnextdoor has been very highly tried and would be a shoe-in here on her head second to Royal Ascot winner Hototo at Ayr in May. However, she's never encountered ground this soft before and, at the likely odds, we'd rather take a punt on POLISH CROWN who hasn't done anything wrong in two starts at Pontefract and one at Dundalk and is guaranteed to run her race again. Princess Sheila weakened quickly at Sandown on Friday but Greenery could be interesting as she'll have learned plenty from her debut at Newbury and she has more scope than Starlight Angel.
