Verdict

Dangerous Midge, winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs last year, has the best form in the book but is being geared up for another trip Stateside and only beat one home at Newbury last Saturday having raced in the rear throughout. Mahbooba was successful in Dubai last winter and wasn't beaten far on her UK debut at Goodwood last month. But she didn't show a great deal at Windsor next time and is unproven over this longer trip. It's a while since either All The Aces or Ted Spread were in the winner's circle and Sirvino is only a handicapper so it may be best to stick with MYPLACELATER. David Elsworth's filly won this last year and is a decent performer at this level. She only found Sajjhaa too good at York the last time she contested a Listed event.
