        Verdict

        Nyaleti comes out best on these terms but is struggling for form and Sun Maiden is preferred. The latter represents last year’s winning yard and included Queen of Time and Rasima among her victims when landing a Listed race at Nottingham recently. The latter’s stablemate Shenanigans also scored in Listed company at Ayr before struggling in a Group 2 at Ascot but GLANCE (NAP) finished a creditable third in a Group 2 contest over a mile at Chantilly last time. Related to middle-distance winners, Ralph Beckett’s filly may well improve for this longer trip and gets the vote. Rainbow Heart was placed in a conditions race at Kempton on her return and has more scope than Blue Gardenia and Dancing Brave Bear as she steps up in class.
