Last season's Two-Year-Old Trophy winner Ladies Are Forever found Group 2 company too hot at York last time and this looks more her level for now. She should be thereabouts, but the vote goes to MURBEH. He looked in need of the run on his reappearance at Ascot last month when beaten three lengths with Marine Commando behind and much better is expected from Brian Meehan's charge here. Show Rainbow has to come into the reckoning as she had Sweet Cecily behind when fourth in the Nell Gwyn, while Oor Jock has outside claims on his best form in Ireland last year.
