This looks wide-open with several representing powerful yards and expected to improve for recent outings. A few of these also took part in a Listed contest at Kempton last month where Posted came out best in fifth finishing ahead of Iconic Choice, Romola, Natalie's Joy, Scentasia and Audarya. The latter was the eye-catcher of that bunch finishing strongly from the back of the field and James Fanshawe won this in 2016 while the Gosden filly Scentasia didn’t give her running and better is expected but a speculative vote goes to SALAYEL. Roger Varian’s filly went close in the consolation race for the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot on her reappearance and the third has subsequently won. Bubble And Squeak and Lady Bowthorpe have the most to find on these terms.
