In depth

Verdict

Lady Links will relish the conditions and is favourably drawn in stall 1 so is given the TEAMtalk nod in a tricky contest. Richard Hannon's classy filly is effective on ground ranging from heavy to firm and this bold front running filly should take plenty of catching after a decent effort in Listed company at Deauville last month. Bandanna has been in excellent heart and is on to the hat-trick after wins at Sandown and Bath but may strugggle under top weight while Proud Boast is arguably better on a quicker surface. Bright Edge comes here in top form and will have no problems with the conditions and has place prospects.
