Dresden Doll showed plenty of promise last time and can break her maiden tag here, with High Days and May Day Queen likely dangers. The selection has a good draw here and was only just held at Windsor last time over this trip by Seeking Star. The third that day has come out and run well since, so the form looks solid enough and with improvement highly likely we will take Michael Bell's filly to score. May Day Queen was thought good enough by Richard Hannon to be tried in the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, but was beaten 25 lengths on that occasion. She finished closer back in maiden company last time and should certainly be a challenger here. High Days has so far raced on with cut in the ground and did not really show much more than her debut form when stepped up to 6f last time. This better ground may help but she has a bit to prove. Watch the market for any other interest but without that knowledge we will take Dresden Doll to go in.
