Definitely a race full of future winners and it is with some trepidation that we select Red Duchess, with Russian Revolution and Titian Time just two of many dangers. Sir Michael Stoute's juveniles have generally needed their first outings and that may have been the case with the selection. She wasn't given a hard time by Fallon when finishing in midfield behind Donyana and with that experience behind her, we should see a much, improved performance. Godolphin are represented by both Tale Of Dubai and Russian Revolution, both are superbly bred but Frankie has elected to ride the latter, a daughter of Dubai Millennium, who should be watched closely in the betting. Titian Time is trained by John Gosden and is probably the form horse following placed efforts at Newbury and Kempton and will be difficult top keep out of the money here. The betting should provide vital clues here, but without that knowledge we have to plump for Red Duchess.
