Verdict
Leonor de Soto was retained for 12,500 guineas after winning a Brighton seller last time and can repay that faith here. Mick Channon's filly beat Bar Of Silver on that occasion - who runs earlier on the card - and, while more will be needed, she might be up to it. Sheriff's Deputy is the obvious danger following a good run in a Classified Stakes race at Newbury last time. Blonde On Blonde's wins have come on the all-weather, but ones that ought to be making a play for prize-money are Serrafina, Rocinante, Gemini Lady and Finnforest, but we'll stick with Leonor de Soto.
