Verdict

Three-year-olds have won all but one of the last ten renewals. Talmada comes out best on official figures after her close second to Covert Love in a Listed contest at Newcastle though that was over 1m2f and this could be just on the short side. BLOND ME came with a late surge to catch Montalcino close home over the track and trip last month and both are very much on the upgrade. The former just gets the vote but there's unlikely to be much between them again. Molly Dolly's trainer isn't known for tilting at windmills and the fact that he's taking on Evita Peron again after she beat his filly at Ascot suggests he will be hoping for a form reversal. Bold Lass's defeat behind Arabian Queen at Epsom is looking a bit better now and she was impeded on her latest start at Haydock.
