CREGGS PIPES started her winning run off a mark of 75 in a handicap at the Curragh and is now on 108 after three further victories at a much higher level. She's engaged in the Group 1 Matron Stakes so this looks a natural stepping stone. Now Or Never scored at this level in May and has only run twice subsequently, both times in Group 1 company. She ran very well in the Coronation Stakes at Ascot and it will take a good performance to beat her. Tanaza was behind in that Ascot event and ran poorly when favourite at the Curragh last time but Lina De Vega was a very impressive maiden winner at the Curragh last month and could be anything. World Of Good hasn't shown enough to be considered.
