Anne Of Kiev beat Dubai Media and Show Rainbow on less favourable terms at Haydock in May and was an excellent fourth to Deacon Blues on her latest start in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot. She looks certain to be a factor here but Swiss Diva may need another run to put her straight having weakened quickly on her reappearance in the King's Stand Stakes. Ladies Are Forever has struggled to replicate her smart two-year-old form this season, while Puff and Sioux Rising have more to do than when scoring at Newmarket and Pontefract respectively last time. Rose Blossom would go close at her best, but so would DEVER DREAM. Five of the latter's six career wins have come over this distance and she's back over 6f for the first time since winning a Listed contest at Newmarket in October. Her latest run at Ascot can certainly be ignored as she doesn't stay a mile.
