This could be a battle of the unexposed Godolphin runners, Tanfeer and Shameful, although with those two having yet to see a racetrack the experience of our alternative ROYAL LIAISON may pay dividends. Tanfeer has a really good pedigree and her father is the Champion Sire Dansili. Saeed Bin Suroor has started to get back in to winning ways lately after a relatively slow start to the season and this first foal juvenile looks just the sort to get him another winner. There are clearly reservations as she may run green on debut so we will watch her. Shameful also has nice pedigree and could pose a danger. Royal Liaison has progressed well on her first two starts and was just half a length behind So Belle at Leicester last time and this could be a perfect opportunity to win. Evening Dress clearly has to be respected from the in-form Mark Johnston yard but we avoid given the weakness of her first two performances. We side with Royal Liaison to be victorious.
