      Verdict

      Three-year-olds have won eight of the last 10 and should have the call here. Somehow has achieved the highest rating after her close second behind stable companion Best In The World in a Group 3 at Cork. A similar run would see her go very close and she had SKIFFLE just behind in the Oaks at Epsom. However, the latter ran out of steam that day after travelling very strongly into the straight and this shorter trip looks her optimum so she can take this for Godolphin. Epsom Icon won an Epsom Group 3 on ground with some give in June and any further rain would aid her cause while Adool looked very progressive when landing a Gowran Listed contest last time and should have much more to offer.
