Verdict
Excel Yourself finished just ahead of C&D winner MISS DIVA in the Queen Mary at Ascot but was drawn on the favoured far side whereas Richard Hannon's filly came down the centre of the track. The latter can reverse that form today and get back to winning ways though Columella is a danger after making a winning debut in a small race at Warwick. She'll know more today and is preferred to Harley's Rocket, who may not have beaten much at Lingfield, and Shrimpton, from the yard that has won this twice in recent years.
