Verdict

DUCHESS ANNE has responded well to positive rides this year, going closer than she ever has when finishing a neck second at Punchestown 23 days ago. She could well prove tough to peg back returned to a shorter trip and earns the vote. Glamazon also ran well on her latest outing and is feared for a new yard, with Princess Chloe and last year's winner Queen Aethelflaed others to consider.

3	Finally off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in maiden at Ballinrobe in May. Mixed record since but responded well to first-time visor when finishing close-up third at Punchestown (9f) 23 days ago. Changed hands (9,000 gns) since and she's one of the likelier types. 2nd Pick 3 Glamazon (Ire) Jockey: L. F. Roche Trainer: Paul W. Flynn, Ireland J: L. F. Roche T: Paul W.

4	Maiden who has made a sound enough start for her new yard, visored first time when third of 16 in handicap at Gowran (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago, that despite not being ideally placed. Headgear discarded and likely she has a small race of this nature within her grasp. 3rd Pick 4 Princess Chloe (Ire) Jockey: Siobhan Rutledge Trainer: John Mcconnell, Ireland J: Siobhan Rutledge T: John Mcconnell, Ireland	96	-	-	-	11%	17/2
