In depth
Verdict
CE CE (NAP) beat Hard Not To Love by more than three lengths in a Grade 1 here in March. She has subsequently completed her hat-trick at Oaklawn Park, with Horologist unplaced, and is probably more at home over this trip than her old rival. Fighting Mad made an excellent reappearance here two weeks ago and will strip fitter today but this looks much too competitive for Kaydetre.
