Verdict

Six of the last 11 renewals have gone to older horses including the last three. French raider Kenhope is perfectly capable of producing a big effort though she could do with some rain but Fiesolana appears to act on any ground and should take revenge on Purr Along, who was receiving 5lb when beating her narrowly in a Curragh Group 3 in May. None of the remainder can be totally dismissed though it could boil down to yet another victory for RIZEENA over Tapestry. The former has finished in front of her rival on all three occasions they have met, though by less than a length in last year's Moyglare. She's a genuine miler who has continued in outstanding form, adding another group 1 to her tally in the Coronation Stakes, and is awarded the verdict over the Coolmore filly, who produced a shock when beating Taghrooda in the Yorkshire Oaks but now takes a big drop in trip.
