In depth

Verdict

TANGO stands out on official ratings and looks another for Ballydoyle. A maiden winner at Navan in June, she's only raced at Group level subsequently and has never been beaten far including in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket last time. Lil Grey has won over the track and trip though finished behind the selection at Newmarket while Lady Jane Wilde had her limitations exposed in a Listed contest at Leopardstown. French Rain made a successful debut over the course and distance but then finished last in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes.
