A progressive three-year-old usually prevails in this which leaves Dutch Rose and Indignant facing tough tasks. The latter finished behind J WONDER in the Group Three Oak Tree at Goodwood last month where Brian Meehan's filly also beat Muteela and subsequent winner Valonia. She gets the vote to go in again, despite a 3lb penalty. Bragging is another on an upward curve and beat Dutch Rose when scoring at York recently - she's preferred to her owner's other runner Joyeuse. Al Thakhira has been competing in Group One contests and is closely matched with J Wonder on earlier running. She can figure but Lucky Kristale and Kiyoshi have yet to scale the heights this season that they achieved last year.
