A Listed winner in Italy, LADY DUTCH made a winning start for Marco Botti when landing a conditions race over course and distance with plenty to spare. Tea Blossom re-opposes on better terms but was four lengths behind the selection and Victoria Regina looks a bigger threat having run well in Group 2 company at Meydan earlier in the year where she finished ahead of Wee Jean. Runner-up in the Sandringham at Ascot, Queen Catrine is weighted to go close on her return to action and is rated 14lb higher than Ascot maiden winner Solar Magic. The remainder also have a tough task on these terms including former John Oxx inmate and Leopardstown maiden winner Royal Memory.
