Kydd Gloves gets the call here ahead Paradise Mill, Turtle Bay. Iwunder, Aimee Vibert and Clambake. Kydd Gloves is impeccably-bred, being by Dubai Millennium out of an A P Indy mare and, although the Godolphin operation is not exactly firing on all cylinders, she has a likeable profile for this race. Paradise Mill is, arguably, the best of those to have raced so far, having finished second to Zalongo, who has been placed at Group level since, at Yarmouth. Her trainer, John Gosden, also runs a Dubai Millennium filly in Perfumery, who must also be considered, although the stable jockey is on Paradise Mill. Barry Hills' Severely has not shown too much so far, while Turtle Bay showed some promise at Newbury last time and can improve on that in time. Keep an eye on the likes of Aimee Vibert and Clambake in the betting, while Iwunder has likeable breeding and cost 70,000 guineas. Kahira will need more than when second at Leicester last time, you would think, as will Ginger Spice based on her Newbury second. Overall, then, the vote stays with Kydd Gloves.
