Masada is interesting taking a quick jump up in class however Dubai Princess sets the standard and she gets the vote ahead of Insaaf and Sudden Impact. The highest-rated filly in the lineup, Jamie Osbourne's daughter of Dubai Destination is fancied to get her head back in front. She ran well behind Captain Gerrard in the Cornwallis and having proven herself on varying underfoot conditions, she should run a big race back against her own sex. Masada drifted in the betting when getting off the mark at the first attempt at Bath and whilst she has plenty to find, there is no doubt that she is bristling with potential. Spinning Lucy beat a poor bunch last time out having been dropped in grade, whilst Irish challenger Bett's Spirit needs respect. A good winner on the all-weather at Dundalk, Michael Grassick's filly should run well with the return to six furlongs not expected to trouble. Festivale has improved with every run but the absence is a slight worry, whilst Danseuse Volante takes a step up in class. Insaaf must be of some interest given that she has proven himself at home at the track and on varying ground. Her form looks rock solid and she must not be passed over easily, however Dubai Princess is given the nomination.
