Promising Run, a Group 2 winner as a juvenile, has been earning her keep in Dubai where she won twice again at that level earlier this year. She'll be better for her comeback in the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot though her penalty makes this tougher. SHENANIGANS, a smart handicapper last season, was placed in two early Listed contests this year before a fine run in a Group 3 at Epsom and should do even better on this conventional track so she's handed the vote. She had Paco's Angel well behind at Kempton in April though the latter has made good progress in similar races to this subsequently. The lightly-raced Clon Coulis is having her first start over this trip but was staying on nicely over 7f at this level at Chelmsford and looks likely to be suited. Isabella has been going well in handicaps but this is a step-up in grade as it is for Marilyn, seeking a four-timer after minor handicap victories.
