Plenty of runners in the Listed even, but it's difficult to see past PRINCIPAL ROLE. She's already won three times at this level this season and had Bea Remembered behind when landing the odds at Newmarket last month. The nearest to Sir Henry Cecil's filly on official ratings are Ceilidh House and Mirror Lake, with the former preferred as she won over C&D last season. Famusa is hard to assess on her first run for Marco Botti though she's a multiple winner in Italy but Captivator and Off Chance have place claims. The remainder, however, have it all to do on today's terms.
