Verdict
This could be a bit of a 'soft' Group 3. Jordan Princess is the only one of these to have won on the track having landed a handicap over 1m4f in August. She has made good progress since then and won a Listed contest at Newmarket last time, though she's never run over the trip. ARABIAN COMET, who was beaten narrowly in this a year ago, was behind Jordan Princess last time but has no problems staying the extra and is taken to go one better than a year ago. The German raider Kaldera will love the trip and ground and has won six races so should provide a threat while the lightly-raced French raider Lady Dragon has won on very soft ground and was a good third in a Listed contest at Chantilly last time.
