        In depth

        Verdict

        Treat looks head and shoulders above the rest and should get back to winning ways, with Thiella and Basaata the ones to chase her home. Mick Channon's filly has been keeping very good company since landing a Nottingham maiden last year, finishing second in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile, before returning to action to take on Finscal Beo and co in the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas. This represents a drop in class for the daughter of Barathea who should stay the extra two furlongs here, and it could be significant that she holds an entry in the Ribblesdale Stakes. Mind you she is also pencilled in for the Coronation Stakes at the Royal meeting just in case connections decide to drop her back to a mile. First things first though, and she should certainly be good enough to score today en-route. Thiella failed to pick up on yielding ground at Navan last time and this lightly-raced filly is expected to go well before being stepped back up in grade for the Pretty Polly Stakes at The Curragh at the end of the month. The rest of today's opponents should not worry connections of the selection, although a watchful eye should be kept on the reappearing Basaata who also has some big-race entries. However, it will take a smart performance to stop Treat from obliging.
