Verdict

This Group 3 has produced some very useful fillies down the years. Whatdoiwantthatfor beat stablemates Thatsallimsaying and Pity Cash in the Listed St Hugh's Stakes over 5f at Newbury last time and is proven on soft ground. She was third earlier over this trip in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot but Richard Hannon also runs the progressive Doncaster and Newmarket winner Bahaarah. Henry Candy isn't one to tilt at windmills so easy Newbury winner La Rioja is worth a second look while Dolce Strega has travelled over from Ireland for this. MAYFAIR LADY was very impressive in a nursery at York last month. This race is too valuable for her rider to claim his allowance but Richard Fahey's filly looks well up to winning a race of this nature.
