The well regarded Imoya who has entries in both the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks has been found a winning opportunity and should take full advantage. The daughter of Desert King showed a consistent level of form in maidens last term and showed she had trained on with a fine fourth, beaten three lengths, behind the smart Kootenay in Listed company on her comeback at Kempton last month. Brian Meehan's charge kept on strongly to suggest that this step up in trip would be in her favour and this represents a huge drop in class. Orinocovsky holds a Derby entry and is clearly highly thought of but failed to fulfill a tall home reputation on his sole start last September and needs to improve to figure and a bigger danger may come from Rush About. Henry Cecil's colt ran promisingly on his second start in a back end maiden at Newmarket and can progress further but Imoya is the one they all have to beat if able to reproduce her Kempton form.
