A valuable prize for breeders and with plenty of blue blood swimming in the genes, BIKINI BABE could be an interesting selection on paper. She has yet to win this term but ten furlongs on fast ground seem to be her best trip and it could be worth giving her another chance. Alsace Lorraine steps back up in trip having disappointed when third in the Valiant Stakes at Goodwood. Ceilidh House was last seen out when down the field in the Oaks. Richard Hills makes an interesting in choice in electing to ride Lyric Stakes runner-up Mudaaraah whilst Chantilly Tiffany has clearly shown something at home to justify the decision to persevere with her at six years of age.
