A chance is taken with Lipizza, who edges a narrow verdict over Folga, while Daniella is also worth monitoring in the betting market. Daniella won well at Goodwood last time and comes here on an upwards curve. The drop back in trip is not expected to be a problem and Rae Guest's charge has a reasonable each-way chance on these terms. Folga is a tough individual and stands her racing well. However, top weight does the mount of Frankie Dettori very few favours and she needs to be at the top of her game. Secret Night is also worth a mention, as this Dansili filly is a model of consistency. She has been found a little short in a finish on occasions though and has become something of a bookies darling during her rise up the ratings. Her supporters need to hope the drop to six furlongs helps her get home today. However, there may also be a bit more to come from Lipizza, who has dropped a couple of significant hints that her turn is not too far away recently. Neville Callaghan is obviously keen to keep the daughter of Spinning World on the boil and it will come as no surprise to see her visit Windsor on Monday evening if all goes to plan this afternoon.
