      Verdict

      MAGICAL, who has won four times here, had a brilliant 2019 campaign winning five times including the Champion Stakes here and at Ascot. She was also runner-up in three Group 1's and made a successful reappearance so the lack of a run shouldn't be a problem. Fleeting has a fitness advantage and any further rain would enhance her claims though she doesn't have the credentials of her stablemate. Cayenne Pepper had an excellent first season, completing a hat-trick with a comfortable victory in a Group 3 here before three lengths behind stable companion Quadrilateral in the Fillies' Mile. Roca Roma landed the odds in good style at Gowran but this is a huge leap in class.
