BOSPHORUS ROSE is an improving three-year-old who has won three of her last four starts, relishing the stamina test and looking more straightforward at Catterick last time. She looks open to further improvement and can defy a rise in grade to land the hat-trick. Ancient Myth did well to get off the mark over C&D 35 days ago and should give another good account with headgear retained, while Flickering Halo ran well when second here last month and bounced back to form last time.

  1. BOSPHORUS ROSE
  2. ANCIENT MYTH (IRE)
  3. FLICKERING HALO (IRE)
