Verdict
Another pattern race which three-year-olds have dominated in recent years. Queen of Time finished a place ahead of Dancing Breeze in this grade at Sandown last month but SEA OF GRACE has her sights lowered having performed with credit in Group 1 races at Deauville and Newmarket in her last two starts. She won a Group 3 at the Curragh last year when trained by John Oxx and should take all the beating. Mittens had Materialistic behind when a close-up fifth last time at Ascot and is closely matched with Queen of Time and Dancing Breeze on that form. The four-year-olds have it all to do against the younger fillies.
