Allegretto has every chance at the weights judged by official BHA ratings but Sir Michael Stoute's mare is better on faster ground and a better bet looks to be the three-year-old GRAVITATION, who gets the vote ahead of Hold Me Love Me. The last mentioned has shown improved form of late most recently when second in heavy ground in a Listed race at The Curragh last month and Aidan O'Brien's filly has to be of interest stepped up into Group 2 company. John Gosden's Queen of Naples is capable but looks booked for a place at best on ground that should suit Michael Bell's Gull Wing better. The daughter of In The Wings is a confirmed soft ground performer and has every chance on suitably testing conditions but preference is for Gravitation. The Willie Jarvis-trained filly has shown improved form with each start, including on testing ground and she looks the one they all have to beat.
