Treble Heights and New Orchid look set to fight out the spoils for this Listed prize, and John Gosden's filly is just preferred. There was little between Treble Heights and New Orchid in a Group three race at Haydock two weeks ago. Both are open to improvement, but Treble Heights is just preferred as that was her reappearance. She won a maiden and was runner-up in a Group 3 last season, and acts on fast ground. Although probably best at 14 furlongs, she is still effective at a mile and a half, open to more improvement and a useful filly, who is taken to return to winning ways. Thingmebob gained a confidence-boosting maiden win at York last Saturday. Earlier beaten under five lengths when eighth in the Oaks, she has claims on that form, but may have been flattered. Dawnus is progressing, but takes a big step up in grade, while Moments Of Joy won her maiden well enough and looks open to bags more improvement. However, Treble Heights has some solid form and is taken to score her first win of the season.
