Despite top-weight the filly Dubai Petal is given the vote to land it with question marks hanging over a large amount of her rivals. A winner at Windsor in April, she has failed to score off marks not too much higher that the rating off which she achieved that victory but is a consistent sort who should be thereabouts. Beautiful Lady relished every yard of the twelve furlong trip at Thirsk last time and today's extra two furlongs will certainly play to her strengths. The maiden Next Of Kin remains open to plenty of improvement and is another that should be suited by the extra distance while market support for Dubai's Wonder would be significant. Herrera will need to step up from her recent outings to score. Dubai Petal is the selection to land the finale.
