Verdict
Aidan O’Brien returns to this venue with More Beautiful, who was sent off favourite for the Queen Mary here last month. She disappointed on that occasion though this extra furlong should suit and she’ll likely start a warm order for this. But SANTOSHA ran a a terrific race in a Group 2 at Newmarket last time when beaten less than a length over today’s trip by the unbeaten Dandalla and finishing ahead of the re-opposing Hala Hala Hala in the process. Dave Loughnane’s filly has every chance on that form and is preferred to stablemate and novice winner Caroline Dale. Isabella Giles tries her luck at this level after scoring at Newbury to remain unbeaten and makes more appeal than On My Way and Chocoya.
