Verdict
Three-year-olds have a very good record in this and Who's Steph may find conceding weight to the younger brigade beyond her, as she did in the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes here last month where she could only finish third behind Goddess and Tipitena with Frosty just a head behind. The latter pair are engaged again though it's another stable companion CREDENZA (NAP), who was only half-a-length behind Goddess at the Curragh and the same distance behind her when both were placed in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes on a return visit, who can come out on top here. Tipitena ran poorly when taking on the colts at Listowel but the very lightly-raced Solage, who wasn't beaten far in the Blandford, looks the type to go well on this ground.
