In depth
Verdict
Sir Michael Stoute sets a poser here by saddling three runners with the Sadler's Wells filly Hypoteneuse looking the pick of the trio ahead of Comma and Eternal Path but Godolphin have done well with their youngsters this term and are taken to have more success here with the newcomer Measured Tempo. Also by Sadler's Wells and out of a half-sister to the likes of Urban Sea and King's Best, the selection makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and may be worth a bet on her debut. Siamese Cat has shown ability in both starts so far and, given her experience (including on a soft surface at Ascot last time) Brian Meehan's filly has to be respected. She is likely to find at least one too good again though, while John Dunlop's Ashmal can reasonably be expected to need the run. The same cannot be said of Measured Tempo though and she gets the vote.
