In the Fashion gets the vote here ahead of Zizou, Dark Planet, Dean's Yard and Pelham Crescent. The selection, the only filly in the line-up, looks to hold very good claims based on her fourth to Championship Point at Royal Ascot at York last time in a Listed race. That is easily the best form of those to have raced. If you can forgive Zizou his last run then his Sandown second to Gramm the time before that looks decent enough form for this race. He looks, possibly, the best of the Mick Channon trio, and there is plenty to like about Dark Planet on breeding, while Sir Michael Stoute's Dean's Yard, a half-brother to Right Approach, also has a likeable pedigree. Sir Michael also runs the 160,000 guineas purchase, Naughty By Nature, while Richard Hannon's Pelham Crescent got the hang of things late on at Newmarket on his debut and should be able to build on that. Finally, Simon Dow's Recalcitrant is related to winners but, for the winner, we will stick with In The Fashion.
