Recent winner Hachita has plenty of scope for improvement and is taken to score here from Quickfire and Beautyandthebeast. A Henry Cecil winner here would be very popular and Hachita looks to have very strong claims. She made all to fight off the the challenges of Bon Nuit and Love Thirty in a decent conditions race at Leicester last time, and a similar gutsy effort could be good enough to take the honours this afternoon. Quickfire steps back in trip following her second to the easy winner Secret History in the Musidora Stakes here and has to be respected off her current handicap mark. Beautyandthebeast was very impressive when beating the 96 rated Kestrel Cross at Naas last time over seven furlongs. She is just as effective over this distance and should be there or thereabouts. In a very open affair Tahrir can also be given a chance, but Hachita is all heart and will be difficult to pass this afternoon.
