      Verdict

      Aidan O’Brien bids to win this for the third year in succession and is represented by ALLURINGLY. The daughter of Fastnet Rock made a winning return when stepped-up to 1m1f at Tipperary last month and further progress is expected. Enable and Tansholpan also hail from yards in flying form with the former a very good third to stablemate and Oaks fancy Shutter Speed at Newbury recently and the latter placed in a Listed race at Newmarket in October. Rich Legacy is penalised for winning the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster in September when Hidden Steps was well beaten but Argenterie came up well short in last year’s Rockfel and Erica Bing looks up against it.
