      Verdict

      It was on good to firm ground that PROSPEROUS VOYAGE won the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes. She failed to back up that success when beaten at Group 1 level in three subsequent starts but they were all on ground with cut. She's eased in grade here. Potapova has a leading chance on the best of her form but was pulled up with an irregular heartbeat last time. Astral Beau has improved in leaps and bounds this term and always seems to give her running but she'll need to up her game again. Random Harvest has her conditions but concedes weight all round while Roman Mist needs more despite a recent Listed success and Shaara was beaten a long way on reappearance.
