The market should shed some much needed light on this contest but we'll award a tentative vote to the form pick Dubai Power although it may not pay to read too much into her entries in the Irish Guineas and the Oaks. Clive Brittain has made a flying start to the season and his Cadeaux Genereux filly is the form pick courtesy of her fourth in a Listed race at Salisbury. She shapes as though she'll have no trouble seeing out this longer trip as her entries suggest. Ada River and Basanti showed promise when finishing within half a length of each other in a Newmarket maiden; there should be more to come from them and the likes of Glitz, Mrs Summersby, Elzeeza and Queen's Speech but it's difficult to estimate how well they have trained on and how much improvement they've found for their initial experiences. The market can help and Dubai Power can only be a hopeful choice.
