Verdict

ORIOLE is taken to back up a convincing Leicester victory on just her second start, despite taking on more experienced opposition. She seems sure to progress again and can concede weight all round, albeit to some promising types. Spanish appeals as the likeliest danger after shaping well in decent contests at Newbury as the step up to this trip should also prove beneficial. Roger Varian's Shampion has similar credentials while the in-form Gosden team run Auyouni in first-time blinkers and introduce Dame Ethel Smyth, a daughter of the yard's Derby and Arc winner Golden Horn.
