Ralph Beckett sent out last year’s winner and QIRAT made a promising debut when beaten a length at Newmarket. He’s a half-brother to stablemate and Irish Oaks runner-up Bluestocking so this extra furlong will likely suit. Royal Tapestry ran out of steam in the closing stages over track and trip and can finish closer along with Clear Image and Teraabb while the newcomer Spun To Gold is related to four winners including the Yorkshire Oaks winner Tapestry.
