Araminta was a shade keen over a mile here last time after winning her maiden at Newbury but she kept on well enough, though a further step up in distance may stretch her stamina. Only beaten a nose in this grade at Saint-Cloud in March, Heavenly Breath was fancied to go one better in a Group 3 in Cologne but finished last. Blue Missile should make a three-year-old but Fast Tara will need to do better than in a Group 3 at Naas. The longer trip should hold no fears for SECRET SOLACE, who was a decent juvenile and should do even better this year. She gets a tentative vote ahead of Veil Of Shadows, who was giving 9lb to the recent York runner-up Queen For You when third at Ascot.
