In depth

Verdict

Surrounding is in the veteran stage now but was better last time at Cork. Pearls Galore is penalised for landing a Group 3 at Fairyhouse but she had Elizabethan well beaten. Parent's Prayer also carries 3lb extra having won the Princess Elizabeth at Epsom in June but this is a more realistic target having run in the Prix Rothschild at Deauville at the start of the month. Winner of the Fillies’ Mile at Ascot last year, PRETTY GORGEOUS hasn’t quite scaled the same heights this season but she has been far from disgraced in races like the Coronation Stakes and Falmouth Stakes since her reappearance in the 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh and she should be too good for these. Deauville Listed winner Loch Lein is improving and looks the pick of the remainder.
