In depth
Verdict
Chorist will have her followers after an unlucky run at Goodwood, but she will have to improve further still if she is to take a hand in this, while her normal pilot takes over the reins on Threefold. The latter, although improving, has plenty to find at this level. The tough, front-running Averted View, is another who has has plenty on her plate. Premier Prize would take this at her best, but she has been a bit in and out this term and cannot be relied upon. Fragrant View will find this easier than the Group 1 company she kept last time, but the one to beat is Fraulein, who has been in cracking form this term and will be well suited by a return to this trip.
