Verdict
Hoyam has bags of speed and was just touched off over this trip at Nottingham four weeks ago, though gives the impression she'll always be better over 5f. CITY GIRL was fourth in the Lowther Stakes as a two-year-old and made a satisfactory reappearance in a Listed race at Newbury when chasing home July Cup entry Zanetto with Ascot winner Ninjago back in third. She has the beating of Sandreamer on the form book and the three-year-olds get a nice weight allowance from the older fillies. Gracia Directa is interesting, however, as she won a Group 3 at York on a previous raid while Angels Will Fall has her sights lowered but Whimsical hasn't run over this trip since making her racecourse debut in 2011. Artistic Jewel and Ladies Are Forever were second and third in this last year but may struggle to get involved this time.
