Verdict
Beautiful Mover and Liwa's Lake are the pick of the form horses, with the last named given the nod, Noorain may do best of the newcomers. The Godolphin challenger made a very pleasing debut in a hot maiden at Sandown. The form has been franked in no uncertain terms with the winner going on to score at Royal Ascot, so it is difficult to see the selection failing here. Beautiful Mover was just pipped at Newmarket last month, in a race that has thrown up some decent types. She didn't appear to progress at Redcar last time but should still figure in the finish here. Mick Channon's Noorain is related to to some decent types including the stable's top handicapper Makfool and it would be no surprise to see this one figure prominently. Richard Hannon's juveniles continue in excellent form so his filly Midnight Lace should be given a cautionary glance in the betting, but Liwa's Lake has the benefit of a previous outing and may have too much class for this field.
