Rated 91, SO SHARP is the one to beat despite a poor effort at Salisbury last time. Beaten four lengths in a Group 3 at Ascot earlier, a repeat should see her go very close in this. She has the measure of both Glamorous Anna and Masaakin on these terms while Cindy Bear disappointed when sent off favourite at Ripon last time. Qaseeda showed promise over 5f at Sandown on her debut but was beaten by a horse rated 76 and will need a big step up on that to figure while Tuscan Oasis and Perfect Sunset are newcomers to keep an eye on.
