A high-class end to the card where there's sure to be plenty of interest in HYMNSHEET who hasn't been sighted since finishing fifth of seven in a Listed race at Newmarket behind Timepiece. The market is likely to prove an accurate guide to her chances but it would be no surprise were she to prove capable of going close in this company on her return which sees her sporting a tongue strap for the first time. Ottoman Empire is a class act but may just need this and Wild Rose is likely to emerge as a bigger threat given the impressive nature of her success eleven days ago. Record Breaker is unexposed on the all-weather and well treated whilst Greylami and Dance The Star are capable of getting involved if the gaps appear at the right time in a fierce heat.
