Verdict
From four entries, Aidan O'Brien relies on As Good As Gold. She's run twice in Group 3 company but has only managed one place so far in six starts and might be vulnerable to a less-exposed type. Queen Anne had shown promise in her first two starts but was soon beaten when last seen back in May and Sauanna Belle has already been beaten three times in handicaps and is now visored. CLUTCHINGATSTRAWS did little wrong when runner-up to Shepherd's Purse at the Curragh last month. The winner wasn't beaten far in a Group 3 next time so the form looks decent and she can open her account here. Escapism is open to improvement while Sharaasa could prove the pick of the newcomers ahead of Countess Constance.
