In depth
Verdict
Another difficult one to call but Comtesse Noir has been holding her form well on the all weather of late and she returns to turf on a mark 18lbs lower than her initial rating as a juvenile. She is a consistent sort who should appreciate the going and she can finally break her duck if things go her way near the finish today. Easter Ogil and Mythical King are others to consider but the form of the Balding camp at the moment swings the vote towards Comtesse Noir.
