Black Cherry and Blond Me look progressive fillies but need to step up again to figure in this. This may also be a step too far for maiden winner Bella Nostalgia and Iconic while Russian Punch may not have trained on. But Montalcino had subsequent Ribblesdale third Pamona behind when runner-up to Crystal Zvezda over 1m2f at Newbury and should go well. JELLICLE BALL easily holds Hundi on their run together in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and, though she probably hasn't quite lived up to early expectations, could be too good for these - her stable landed this 12 months ago.
