NYALETI has been placed in this grade over 6f and a mile. She was also second over this trip in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot and Mark Johnston’s trail-blazer is the one they all have to beat in this. Butterscotch has only won a Naas maiden so far but improved again last time at the Curragh when only finding stablemate Clemmie, who beat the selection in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes here in the summer, too good. Fellow Irish raider Lightening Quick beat a big field on her debut at Leopardstown while Gavota has been impressive in her two runs to date. She’s held in high regard but this is a huge step up in class. Juliet Capulet has solid form at a decent level but doesn’t have much in hand on Capomento on collateral form and also looks held by the selection.
