      Verdict

      No filly has won this in 10 years so the stats are stacked against the in-form Bettys Hope and Keep Busy and also Lambeth Walk, who finished lame in the Duchess of Cambridgeshire Stakes at Newmarket when last seen. Great Dame was entered yesterday at Beverley so we’ll concentrate on the colts. PLATINUM STAR (NAP) is easily the top rated having run second in the Group 2 July Stakes on his only previous run over this trip. He never got competitive in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood next time but wouldn’t be the first who failed to act on that track. Oh Purple Reign has already won three times and is weighted to reverse Chelmsford running last month with Bettys Hope. Sir Boris has impressed twice on soft going at Nottingham but connections would have been hoping for some rain.
