Pink Dogwood (5/2), Star Catcher (7/2), Iridessa (4/1), Fleeting (9/2), Manuela De Vega (7/1), Trethias (12/1), Antonia De Vega (12/1), Search For A Song (14/1), Peach Tree (20/1), Operatic Export (100/1)

Verdict

FLEETING may have been overlooked by Ryan Moore in favour of Pink Dogwood but the daughter of Zoffany has been unlucky not to get her head in front in Group 1 company already this season, particularly in the Ribblesdale last time out. Pink Dogwood will be suited by the step back up in trip after her effort behind Iridessa in the Pretty Poly last time out and that form looks solid. Manuela De Vega could be the strongest from the English challenge after a big effort in the Epsom Oaks last time out.
  1. Fleeting
