Verdict

Fillies don't have a great record in this but Aidan O'Brien did saddle Maybe to win in 2011 and his juveniles have been carrying all before them this week. The aptly-named BALLYDOYLE is bred in the purple being a full sister to Group 1 winner Misty For Me and she'll have come on in leaps and bounds since her debut at the Curragh - she could be yet another winner for Ryan Moore. Wesley Ward is confident of a big run from Love The Kitten while Dessertoflife won easily at Doncaster last weekend. Of the colts, Newcastle winner Red Artist could go close to giving Simon Crisford a first winner as a trainer at the Royal meeting while Suits You won over 6f at Maisons-Laffitte last month. Godolphin's newcomer Cymric is also interesting. Like Love The Kitten, he's by Kitten's Joy and he wouldn't be running in this if connections didn't think him capable of a bold showing.
