      Verdict

      John Gosden has sent out four of the last seven winners and Precious Ramotswe picked-up a Group 3 contest over 1m6f at York last time. Horseplay found Coronet too good in the Middleton Stakes at York on her reappearance and has a shout on that form while God Given showed further progress to win a Group 3 over track and trip last month with Euro Nightmare back in fourth though this is tougher. Only fifth in the Oaks at Epsom, FLATTERING (NAP) improved to beat an older rival in the Group 3 Munster Oaks at Cork recently. The Ballydoyle filly can take advantage of the weight concession once again and is preferred to fellow three-year-old Mrs Sippy. Snowy Winter looks up against it in this company.
