Verdict
Favourite Finsceal Beo makes a quick return to the fray after her third at Royal Ascot in the Queen Anne Stakes. Well-backed that day, she was just found for a turn of foot late on behind Haradasun and this step back up to 10 furlongs should be helpful. PROMISING LEAD made no mistake on her comeback at York and outclassed some inferior rivals. She is a lovely, scopey type well worth her place at this level and looks to have the talent to get the better of the admirable market leader. Aidan O'Brien's duo Ice Queen and Sail have a fair bit to find in terms of form while Anna Pavlova could make more of an impact back against her own sex after finishing well held in the Coronation Cup.
