This looks a tight contest but John Gosden has trained four of the last 10 winners and runs two today along with the Haggas yard. Enbihaar found Dramatic Queen too good in a Group 3 over 1m6f at York last time and collateral form gives the latter the beating of stablemate Klassique, who landed the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes over track and trip last time albeit in testing going. But the other Gosden filly HIGHGARDEN is also a Group 3 winner and will be sharper for last month’s comeback in a handicap at Chelmsford. The fitting of cheekpieces will also help concentration and she may prove the one to side with. Nyaleti posted a better effort at Newcastle recently but has yet to race over this far and Shailene has a tough task on these terms after winning a Listed race in Italy.
