In depth

Verdict

RIVE GAUCHE stands out in this as she wasn't beaten far when fourth in a Listed race at York - a repeat effort would make her hard to beat in this company. Lovely Surprise ran well here on her comeback when runner-up ahead of fifth-placed Imvula while Lemoncetta and Mudammera look likely improvers. Celestial Fire is a half-sister to a winner and fellow newcomer Sea Scent is another to keep an eye on.
