Verdict
BEAUTY PAGEANT looks a progressive filly and, only a pound higher than when a close-up third to Mayoman at Haydock earlier this month, can regain the winning thread in this finale. Taurus Twins came back to form when second at Leicester on Monday and will be a danger if reproducing that run here, while Crimea is lightly-raced this season and dropped in class after solid efforts at Doncaster and Epsom. He shouldn't be far away and makes more appeal than stable companion Cadeaux Pearl. Nomoreblondes disappointed again at Beverley 10 day ago, however, and her York win in July now seems a long time ago.
