Verdict
The feature event on the card can fall to Peeress, with Coqueteria and Zietory put forward as the main dangers. Sir Michael Stoute's filly progressed well throughout the summer, landing a hat-trick of wins, before finishing third in a good class handicap at Goodwood. There was no disgrace in that defeat and if fit following a three month break, she will take all the beating. Coqueteria finished third in the German 1000 Guineas before chasing home Mansfield Park in a conditions race at Leicester and looks the main rival to the selection. Zietory was well beaten in a handicap last time but previously landed a similar race to this at Sandown and cannot be dismissed here. Miss George may prove best of the others, but Peeress is expected to take this step up in class in her stride and is a confident choice.
