Aidan O'Brien's Ice Empress sets the standard in this girl's only maiden but with her perhaps a little exposed in this company we go for the progressive looking ATYAAB while Skyway should feature. From top connections the pick stepped up on hier only start as a juvenile by finding just one too good last time and with more expected she can go one better. Ice Empress has placed twice in five runs and wasn't beaten far last time. She looks booked to give her running but something might improve past her. Skyway was only just behind the pick last time so should be close up again while Rare Symphony can run a big race first time up. An intriguing contest where Atyaab can continue progressing and go in.
