The form of the Queen Mary has worked out well so GOSSAMER WINGS run at Newmarket last month was a little disappointing but that was at a time when Aidan O'Brien's string were really struggling with a virus so that could be an excuse. If she returns to Royal Ascot form this would look a very winnable race so she gets the vote. Indigo Balance wasn't disgraced at Group One level here so she surely has to be involved at this level. Bailly has a bit to find with the aforementioned duo but she is relatively unexposed at this point.
