Won gamely at Leicester last month but this is a significant step up in grade and the filly faces a big ask on these terms. Looks the stable's preferred option on jockey bookings.
Sound enough claims on the pick of her form but latest effort was below par and won't get away with a lackluster effort if the rest are fired up and ready
Yard won this race last year and portents seen from recent stable form highly encouraging. Just one run since Royal Ascot so was entitled to need the outing. The betting will be helpful in determining how much he's benefitted.
Cost €30,000 but first two outings have been nothing special. Possible the drop in trip can help but big improvement still needed.

SPIRITUAL LADY has faced much stiffer tests than this and and may well have the class to see her through the task of giving lumps of weight away all round. Consequences represents last year's winning yard and looks a better alternative to Star Of Siena, who has a bit to prove as she drops to this trip for the first time.
