The Newmarket-based Duke Of Grazeon is related to several winners and is one to note in the betting but STRICTLY SILCA is undoubtedly the form pick and it's about time she was winning. Her second to Toronado in an Ascot Listed race last July is far superior to anything achieved by these rivals and, though undoubtedly flattered, she has competed at a much higher level. Be Lucky made a promising debut at Doncaster then just failed to catch Flirtinaskirt at Southwell so she looks the main threat with Funding Deficit best of the remainder.
