Verdict

A decent case can be made for any number of these and a purely speculative vote goes to MARTAGON LILY. She's one of the least exposed and coped with heavy ground when third at Sandown last time. Stablemate Trapeze is not easily dismissed with Richard Hughes on board, while Fragonard is preferred to Running Deer of Lady Cecil's runners. Astra Hill, Caterina De Medici and Bohemian Dance are not out of this dropping back in trip, while the likes of Puligny, Kalispell and Rasikova all have form in soft ground.
