Fireglow’s eye-catching fourth in the Guineas is the best form on show here, and she is sure to go close dropped back to Listed level, but she may be vulnerable to improving types. Pandora showed plenty of ability when recovering from a slow start to pick up a handicap over course and distance last month but DIPLOMA looks a likelier winner. She struggled over a mile at Royal Ascot, but this is her trip and she’s just the kind of filly that her trainer excels with.
