Verdict
Makawee has won around here and also scored over the trip at Goodwood. She just failed to make all over 1m4f on fast ground at the latter track last month and will be spot-on for this. Mighty Blue was placed in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham in March and showed her liking for ground with plenty of give when easily landing a Gowran Listed contest earlier this month. She looks certain to take some beating though she finished behind Flor De Luna when Jessica Harrington's filly was runner-up at Cork. The latter started favourite for that Gowran event but was coughing and a line should be drawn through the run. BELIEVE IN LOVE ended the last campaign winning five of her last six culminating in a Group 3 success on heavy going over this trip at Saint-Cloud. She has a small penalty to carry but can continue her upward curve. Urban Artist completed a hat-trick last summer but couldn't quite handle Listed company at Bath on her final start
