Verdict
This may prove too tough for Folkestone winner What's Up while it took My Queenie five attempts and a longer trip to get off the mark and she has to carry a penalty here, though she wasn't disgraced in a Group 3 on her penultimate start. Hazel Lavery should improve on her third at Newmarket but none of the debutantes can be ruled out in this. Intense Pink is speedily-bred, while the Cape Cross filly Westwiththenight already has an entry in next year's Irish 1000 Guineas. Like Coplow, however, she may do better over middle-distances next year so preference is for DANK. Sir Michael Stoute's daughter of Dansili is a half-sister to Prix Marcel Boussac winner Sulk and could prove useful.
