In depth

Verdict

Only one of these fillies has managed a win so far and Princess Icicle's victory came on the Polytrack two years ago. SOCIETY PEARL is tried in headgear after her fourth over course and distance last week. She gets a tentative vote in the hope that the hood has the desired effect, though On Demand will have needed her run here at the start of the month and looks as though she'll stay this longer trip. Lady Guinevere ran a shocker when favourite at Chepstow in June but Helen's Armada could go close as she handles soft going and wasn't beaten far last time at Ayr.
