Paradise Isle is in great heart and, as she has fewer questions to answer than La Chunga and Donna Blini, she gets the nod as the selection in today's feature race on the Knavesmire. It will also be noteworthy if any money arrives for Yamolo, who is a tough individual that appears to have rediscovered her enthusiasm for racing. However, she faces a stiff test under her Group Three penalty and needs to pull out all the stops. Donna Blini found a mile beyond her in both the Guineas and the Coronation Stakes and needs to conclusively prove that she has trained on. Her juvenile form is rock solid, so it would come as no surprise to also see her attract plenty of interest for the on course punters. La Chunga has a similar profile and will also be dangerous to ignore. Her yard have been in good form and a bold bid can be expected from this Robert Ogden-owned filly. However, recent form points towards a big run from Paradise Isle and, with her fitness and ability not in doubt, she is fancied to make this too stiff a test for the rest.
