It's hard to oppose RHODODENDRON after looking a little unlucky in her 1,000 Guineas run with the trip being the only minor concern. Enable was impressive at Chester last time out; she looks up to making her presence felt at this level and has the beating of the O'Brien second-string in Alluringly on their Chester form. Andrew Balding's runner, Horseplay will have learnt plenty from her win at Newmarket where she was made to work for her victory in contrast to her prior impressive effort at Nottingham while Daddys Lil Darling is an interesting runner and has an experience edge over plenty of these; she could run well if the rain stays away.
