Princess Taise is a live contender and this exciting filly is readily preferred over Hope 'N' Charity and Bicoastal. The last named is better than she consented to show last time and is worth keeping an eye on in the betting. Brian Meehan's filly is expected to relish the step up in trip and will be a big threat to them all if the blinkers have the desired effect. Hope 'N' Charity comes here on the back of a solid race at Royal Ascot and, although the form has taken a subsequent knock, there were several useful types in that race and it is a reliable gauge to judge her by. Others worth a mention include: the unbeaten Sesmen, who has done nothing wrong and deserves to take her chance at this level, while Italian Girl and Hanging On both caught the eye on their debuts and add further intrigue to a tough race to fathom. However, Princess Taise's second in the Sweet Solera Stakes may well prove to be the most solid piece of evidence available and this Filles Mile entry is fancied to firmly establish herself at this level today.
