Rivers Of Babylon has been a bit unfortunate to bump into some useful fillies and has done nothing wrong so it will be a surprise if she's not involved in the finish again. However, once again she may have to play second fiddle as ESHERA looks potentially decent class being from the family of numerous top middle-distance performers including an Irish Oaks winner and two Ascot Gold Cup winners. Jim Bolger saddles the newcomer Focus On Arminta but Kevin Manning gets off her to ride the twice-raced Renea, who ran well in a big field at Naas a fortnight ago. Ciel Etoile and Peremptory have had their chances and will need to improve.
