        Verdict

        TEMPTRESS will take some beating here after a tremendous run in the Royal Hunt Cup when only a neck behind Gm Hopkins. This is her first start at this level but she can make the transition in style. Pelerin was sent to Dundalk to land a Listed contest last October and went back to Ireland for a Group 3 at the Curragh in May but couldn't cope. She's a regular at this level and won't go down without a fight. Queen Catrine was beaten in a Listed contest in Italy last time and hasn't quite made it in this company but Merry Me was conceding Gratzie 9lb when beaten a neck in an Epsom handicap last month and can reverse the places.
