Sir Michael Stoute won this race with the subsequently high-class filly Crystal Capella back in 2008 and CARABOSS fits the bill here. She separated a couple of fillies that have since ran well in Listed company when runner-up at Newbury last month and can go one better today. Shuhra shaped well on her debut last year and this longer trip will suit, while Al Mayasah could prove a threat back at this level having been well beaten in the Lingfield Oaks trial last time. Bint Nas has a bit to find but should also give a good account.
