Verdict
Elite Gardens disappointed in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and hasn't been seen since but Taaqah's win at Newbury is working out quite well and she's open to further progress. SULAALAAT should take all the beating, however, as she got taken off her feet in the Lowther and will appreciate this slightly stiffer test. Sympathy is starting off at a decent level so is probably useful and she'll improve on whatever she achieves in this.
