Verdict

The vote goes to GERT LUSH, who posted much her best effort of the season so far when third off this reduced mark at Newbury and a reproduction of that effort would give her every chance. The hat-trick seeking Thunder Flash has to be feared in current form, but a bigger threat may be posed by Nine Elms, who has remained in good form since scoring over C&D in June. Divine Comedy completes the shortlist.

  1. GERT LUSH (IRE)
  2. NINE ELMS (USA)
  3. THUNDER FLASH
