        Verdict

        A good race in prospect, and with the ground in her favour Danehurst is fancied to score her first win of the season; she is just preferred to Olivia Grace, while Golden Nun may just prove to be the pick of the three-year-olds. Danehurst was racing all over Europe last year, and Sir Mark Prescott's filly was good enough to land Group 3 wins in France and Italy, as well as a Group 2 at The Curragh. She has had just the one run this year, at Baden Baden in May, but she goes well fresh and will be suited by these conditions, particularly if there was any more rain. Olivia Grace has failed to live up to the promise she showed when making a winning reappearance at Nottingham, and has now left Terry Mills to join Luca Cumani. The Newmarket handler is most adept at getting the best out of fillies like this, and she seems sure to run a big race. The three-year-olds look generally below the older horses in this race, but the pick of them could be Golden Nun, who hinted that she might be returning to something like her smart juvenile form when three lengths behind Quito on ground that was faster than ideal in the Ayr Gold Cup last weekend. Earlier in the year, Tim Easterby's filly had finished half a length behind Judhoor in a Listed event at Ripon, and looks capable of reversing that form on three pounds better terms. But Danehurst has a touch of class, and providing she is not in need of a run, she should be good enough to take this prize.
