Verdict
Easy Lover and Millestan have the highest BHB ratings of these but both fillies are becoming exposed now and preference is for the progressive Tarteel, who gets the vote over Passage Of Time. The last mentioned certainly looks the pick of Henry Cecil's two runners and should appreciate any further rain that falls plus the step up to a mile so she cannot be discounted. Sir Michael Stoute's Hi Calypso looks to be going the right way and should also improve for the longer trip today but needs to, while Lady Grace has more to do than when landing a Lingfield nursery last time. Laurentina has done little wrong of late and is another to consider under Frankie Dettori but preference is for John Dunlop's Tarteel, who typically has improved with each start and with more improvement likely to come for racing on a softer surface for the first time, she gets the vote.
