Three from the UK take on the home brigade here. Indian Blessing, a Listed winner at Musselburgh, couldn't handle the step-up to Group 2 company in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Ascot while Heavenly Holly, who won the lucrative All-Weather Fillies' Championship at Lingfield, has been beaten in two Listed events subsequently. Perfection was just caught in a Group 3 on soft going at Lingfield and ran a fine race in the Wokingham at Ascot where she didn't get the run of the race. SURROUNDING is a very consistent performer at this level and was only beaten a short-head when attempting to concede 22lb to Crafty Madam at the Curragh. She gets the nod as none of the three-year-olds appeal including hat-trick seeking Black Magic Woman, who takes a big step-up in grade.
