Seta is a likeable filly but having started favourite for five of her six starts she makes little appeal in terms of value, especially as her defeat of Long Lashes at Sandown was let down over the weekend. Sahpresa is hard to assess as her recent defeat of Dalghar was done no harm in the Diadem Stakes on Sunday but she won this race last year on much quicker ground and this looks a deal more competitive. Spacious arguably deserves to pick up a Group One having been second at this level on her last two starts but she may be taken on for the lead by the likes of course winner Strawberrydaiquiri and with the elder generation having struggled in recent years we'll focus on Rainfall, Aviate and MUSIC SHOW, with the latter preferred. Mick Channon's charge was behind Spacious at Leopardstown but had previously beaten her comfortably on the July course and has plenty of form, including victory in the Falmouth, that would make her hard to beat here. Rainfall arrives on the back of a confidence-boosting victory but she just looks short of top-class especially away from Ascot and of more interest at a price is the less-exposed Aviate, who ran a fair race over in Ireland last time having previously been beaten favourite for the Oaks. She's thought very highly of and could reward each-way backers, but Music Show looks the filly to beat.
