Verdict
IRIDESSA is the top-rated here after her surprise victory in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket where she had Hermosa one-and-a-half lengths behind. She's picked up a small penalty and the runner-up's yard is represented by five of which Zagitova, who was 14l behind and wasn't at her best, is the top-rated due to a couple of good efforts behind Skitter Scatter earlier. Secret Thoughts also ran well behind that winner in a Group 3 here in July and didn't run again while Happen, Fire Fly and I Remember You, who all won their final starts of the campaign, will need to raise their game in this company. Lady Kaya was beaten 2l by the outstanding Skitter Scatter in the Moyglare before finding the ground too fast in the Cheveley Park and she looks the main threat.
