Verdict

AMELIA EARHART announced herself as a leading contender for this race after a stylish win at Chester on her reappearance and can follow in the footsteps of her stablemate Minnie Hauk, who went on to land this last year after making a successful return in the Cheshire Oaks. The highly progressive Legacy Link was nicely on top at the finish in the Musidora at York and looks the obvious threat, while 1000 Guineas third Venetian Lace holds strong form claims if seeing out this much longer distance.
