Sir Michael Stoute should have the answer here with Beaucette, who should have improved enough to beat the likes of Rossiya and John Gosden's newcomer Dombeya. The master of Freemason Lodge has adopted a patient policy with his filly, her recent effort at Thirsk when runner-up to Furaat being only her second outing of the season. She would have needed that run, having been absent since April and should improve for the step back up to seven furlongs. Furaat's trainer John Gosden saddles Dombeya, a daughter of Danehill who has Suave Dancer in the dam's pedigree, so middle distances will be her forte next year. Rossiya was hampered behind Tarbiyah on her Salisbury debut, and although beaten at the time, should improve. The form of that race has already been boosted by the victory of runner-up Beneventa last week. Mawaani has a race in her judged on what she has shown so far, but Beaucette has the assistance of Kieren Fallon and should prove too strong for her rivals.
