Verdict
A high quality renewal where there's surprisingly little in the way of Scottish interest but the Southern raiders look strong and ALBAMARA appears the one to be with. Sir Mark Prescott immediately went for black type events after she won an Epsom maiden, and though over faced in the Shadwell Fillies Mile at Newmarket, she ran respectably enough in a belated seasonal reappearance at Newbury. Mark Johnston unleashes Fennell Bay, who took the King George V Stakes at the Royal meeting and should have few concerns on the surface. Mick Channon has two entries and Naseem Alyasmeen looks the pick. The grey filly has been busy of late but she looks to be on an upward curve having placed in the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket.
