Verdict
Double Or Bubble continued her good progress with an impressive success at Newmarket. But she needs to take another step forward in this grade up against the likes of ISABELLA GILES (NAP). The latter wasn’t at her best in the Fred Darling at Newbury last month but won both the Prestige and the Rockfel Stakes over today’s trip last year and can go very close if back to that level of form. Bounce The Blues is a Listed winner with a shout on these terms and is preferred to Parent's Prayer while Axana represents one of Germany’s leading yards and has a recent Listed success at Hoppegarten under her belt.
