In depth
Verdict
Esloob was unsuited by the testing conditions when tailed off in the Oaks but has proved her class on a quicker surface with wins at Newmarket and Newcastle last time. Marcus Tregoning's filly should get this longer trip and looks the one they have to beat in the first-time visor. Jalousie has a little to find on these terms under a penalty while Lady High Havens and Frosty Welcome are both held on Newcastle form by the selection.
