Yulong Baobei was not disgraced in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time and had finished runner-up in Listed company at Naas before that when ahead of Spy Ring. The latter has since ran well without threatening in a Group 3 at the Curragh but stablemate MIRDIF’s (NAP) sixth in the Railway Stakes at the same track last time looks stronger form and he gets the vote. Ambiguity was well behind Yulong Baobei in the Windsor Castle and had earlier finished in front of stable companion Hyzenthlay while Cork winner Miss Cogent has ground to make up with Spy Ring on latest running at the Curragh.
