Verdict

Dermot Weld has won three of the last four and EZIYRA will be a warm order to continue the trend despite dropping down in trip. She won a Group 3 at this fixture last year didn't but reappear until last month when repeating the process. She then went to York for the Oaks and looked like giving the brilliant Sea Of Class a race at this trip but couldn't match strides in the closing stages and had to settle for third. There's nothing of the winner's calibre here and she can return to winning ways. Jessica Harrington holds a strong hand with Beautiful Morning and I'm So Fancy. The former gained her first Group 3 success when beating a decent field in the Royal Whip over the track and trip while the latter, who has a tremendous record around here, beat a very strong field of fillies over slightly shorter on the track a fortnight ago. Panstarr battled on really well to land a Listed contest here on Monday but meets slightly better rivals here.
