      Verdict

      La Fritillaire, Sakhra and Opus Too have yet to win a race between them and the remaining trio have yet to score over this far. Theydon Bois went close over 1m4f last time and attempts today’s distance for the first time while What A Party has won over 7f here but was a well beaten fourth over 2m on the all-weather back in April. LADY OF YUE could only manage sixth over 2m at Ascot in May but that was in Class 3 company and she has a much easier task in this. Eugene Stanford’s mare should go close with a similar effort today and gets the nod.
