Verdict

HEAVEN SENT is in good form, has won over this course and distance and represents a trainer who has landed two of the four renewals of this race; he is the logical selection ahead of Sabana Perdida and Grecian Dancer. Sir Michael Stoute's mare has only been out of the frame four times in 17 career starts and she has been in scintillating form since returning to the track this year. Officially rated the second-best horse in the line-up, she doesn't have to carry a penalty unlike Majestic Roi (Group One winner last October) and she has the ability to act on any ground. She beat Harvest Queen last time at Newmarket on these same terms and should confirm the form. Many Colours is consistent, and yet to race in this country, she ran her best race behind Sun Classique at the World Cup meeting in Dubai. Enforce has claims, but it probably wasn't the greatest contest that she won at Goodwood, Selinka pleased on her reappearance and can only improve whilst Silca Chiave has had her problems but along with Majestic Roi gives Mick Channon a strong hand. Sabana Perdida was third in this race last year and must be feared in a bid to go two places better. She won well at Lingfield recently and will appreciate a strong pace. Irish raider Grecian Dancer, a runaway winner at the Curragh, adds more spice to an intriguing renewal, but Heaven Sent can complete her hat-trick.
