Verdict
Richard Hannon usually aims one of his more forward two-year-olds at this meeting so Tea Cup, a daughter of Danehill Dancer, is sure to be popular in this opener. But we are taking her on with ROYAL BLUSH. A half-sister to numerous winners, including several speedy juveniles, it is significant that Paul Cole has booked Frankie Dettori to partner his Royal Applause filly on her racecourse debut. Princess Banu is the only one with previous experience and showed speed on her introduction at Ripon, while Liesl and My Solitaire have pedigrees which suggest they should be winning sooner rather than later.
