In depth

Verdict

Mean Mary continued her good progress with a Grade 3 success over 1m4f here last time and has already beaten Cap De Creus, Kelsey's Cross and Beale Street. Graham Motion’s progressive filly should be in the mix once again and Elizabeth Way is another to consider. The latter has won both starts since leaving Ireland for Roger Attfield’s barn and landed The Very One Stakes over track and trip last month. Beau Belle could be thereabouts on her return but GENTLE RULER was better than ever last year when winning six of seven outings. That included a couple of victories at this level when scoring at Churchill Downs and then Keeneland in October and Ian Wilkes’ filly is taken to carry on where she left off.
