Verdict
Dandalla was hugely impressive in the Albany Stakes at Ascot and further progress will make her tough to beat in this. But the extra furlong is a massive plus for More Beautiful after she got outpaced when a hot favourite for the Queen Mary. TIME SCALE can upstage both, however, as she only had to be shaken up to land the Empress Stakes on the Rowley Mile here 12 days ago and a line through third Undertake puts her on a par with Dandalla. The others will have to show massive improvement to get involved but Hala Hala Hala looked a nice filly at Thirsk and Frankie has been booked.
