    Verdict

    Pretty Love is rated 40lb behind Tonkinese and another 9lb behind RADIANTLY. The last-named, runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in May before finishing mid-division in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, ran a fine race in the Listed Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and should take care of her main rival, who didn't stay 1m4f at Down Royal last time and is best judged on some smart form over this trip earlier.
