        Verdict

        BANA WU drops back into maiden company and should prove too good for these. A close-up third in a Listed race at Sandown last month, the daughter of Shirocco should have no problem with the longer trip and is the one to beat. Miracle Maid has failed to threaten so far but her latest fifth to the progressive Emirates Queen looks better in hindsight while Afraah should also improve stepping up in distance. Caphene showed promise on her debut here only to disappoint over 1m4f last time but the newcomer Entitlement, a half-sister to smart stayer Invermark, is worth noting on her debut.
