Verdict

Look Here heads the betting here and she has a clear form chance of getting back to winning ways. The 2008 Epsom Oaks heroine had the likes of Lush Lashes and Katiyra well held behind her that day and trainer Ralph Beckett holds out hope that the form can be upheld. She delivered a hugely pleasing return to action in the Coronation Cup against the colts and she will be a tough nut to crack. Beckett is wary of the challenge of DAR RE MI and his concerns could be well founded. A lovely strapping filly, she was sent off at odds-on for her comeback at York in the Middleton Stakes but found Crystal Capella a fraction too strong after a tremendous battle in the final two furlongs. The key to her chance could be the ground - genuinely good going will suit and any rain in the area would enhance her chance further. She has past form with the likes of Lush Lashes but remains capable of more improvement. Lush Lashes was not at her best last time at Royal Ascot but it would be no surprise to see how bounce back from that - she is tough and takes her racing well. This is Katiyra's comeback and the last time we saw here was at Longchamp in the autumn when she had a rear view of Lush Lashes in the Prix de l'Opera. She has also shown a consistently high level of form and should be in the shake-up. Roman Empress lines up for Ballydoyle and her chance is respected even though she is stepping up from maiden company last time.
