In depth
Verdict
Halle Bop looks to have an excellent chance of taking this contest, with Neverletmego and Ellens Princess the obvious dangers. The selection, another from Godolphin on a card where they have some great chances, put up the best display of any of these on debut, despite being a beaten favourite. This ground should be spot on for the filly, who ran Salamanca to within three-parts of a length at Newbury and she can build on that experience and find what is required to take this. Neverletmego was a slightly more disappointing beaten favourite on debut, running green for much of the five furlongs, before finally getting the hang of things when it was too late. She was backed that day, and the step up in trip should help, though compensation may have to wait for another time. This drop back in trip should suit Ellens Princess, who has shown up pretty well in two starts to date, not being beaten far on either occasion. The Desert Prince filly will be suited by the ground and can give the selection most to do, but for that winner we suggest Halle Bop.
