In depth
Verdict
Proserpine was a useful juvenile with proven form in the prevailing soft ground conditions and looked unlucky in running on her Goodwood return over 9f. The step up in trip will suit and the daughter of Robellino can be expected to be sharper for the outing. Persian Lass was understandably outclassed in the Oaks but this is more her level and she remains open to plenty of improvement having been lightly campaigned while Robe Chinoise does not need to find much on official ratings to take a hand.
