        Verdict

        Aunt Julia has the best form on view and can take this ahead of Highindi and Qaadmah. Two-and-a-half lengths behind Oaks heroine Eswarah over course-and-distance, this looks an obvious opportunity to strike against unexposed rivals. Highindi is a daughter of Montjeu and as her dam was stayer Lalindi, this trip will probably be on the sharp side. Qaadmah is a Dubai Millennium filly out of Nassau Stakes winner Zahrat Dubai. Rock Chick was very easy to back at Lingfield last time out. She stayed on to suggest she'll be winning before the end of the year. Rainbow Sky is dropped dramatically in terms of aim vis-a-vis her recent outing at Chester. There should be a number of future winners and we will stick with the experience of Aunt Julia on this occasion.
