In depth
Verdict
Piper's Lass ran out of steam over 7f at Lingfield on her debut but should be in the mix here. By contrast, CONTRADICT finished third over the minimum trip on her introduction at Salisbury. With the winner having ran well in Group company since and the runner-up scoring at Lingfield recently, Sir Michael Stoute's filly gets the vote. A half-sister to an all-weather winner, the newcomer Lyric Piece stands out from the rest for a yard in flying form and the remainder will do well to get involved.
