The going looks too quick and the trip too far for Vintage Brut but Marie's Diamond was close up over a mile in a Group 2 in Germany recently while Greenham third Urban Icon finished eighth in the 2000 Guineas. ANGEL’S HIDEAWAY was fourth in the 1000 Guineas and only beaten a length-and-a-half by Hermosa. A Group 3 winner in her first season, she is the one to beat in this with Space Blues looking to bridge the gap from handicaps. Happy Power came unstuck against older horses in this grade at Haydock and wouldn’t want the going to get any quicker.
