Verdict
This looks wide open but Oaks entry RUNNING LION has a recent win at Kempton under her belt and may well improve for this longer trip. She has the beating at the weights of several of these including Floating Spirit though the latter has plenty of scope as does the selection’s stablemate Tarjamah. Jockey bookings suggest Ribblesdale entry Queen Of Fairies is preferred to stable companion Joyful Act while Sumo Sam and Trust The Stars are other winning debutantes making their seasonal bow.
