Richard Hannon has a decent chance in the first division of this and his newcomer Perfect Pose, representing the same owner, will probably be near the head of the betting in this. There is certainly plenty of speed in her pedigree. However, we much prefer DARK EMERALD who takes a huge drop in class. He was last seen finishing in mid-division in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and will be tough to beat if anywhere near the form he showed when second to the smart Olympic Glory at Goodwood earlier. Newmarket third Magical Rose looks to be improving but the remainder have a bit to find if they are to figure.
