Speed anticipated from Friar's Gift, Prince Friar and Star Lightning. DETANGO won comfortably on debut at Belmont and then had no luck resuming at Ascot when backed. She looks well up to this grade and can be winning. VENUS EBONY found Stakes grade too tough last time and best to go on the win here prior. Expect her to feature back in this grade. FRIAR'S GIFT can lead and resumes off a placing and win both at this venue. Draws out but has trialled strongly for this and a win wouldn’t surprise. The market the best guide to the rest.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Detango.
