MAGHYA is awarded our vote ahead of the likes of Basque Beauty and Jamboretta. The majority of these fillies haven't quite lived up to the lofty ambitions that have been held for them at various stages of their careers but are probably high enough in the handicap as a result of their endeavours. Jockey bookings point to Maghya being the owner's second string in this contest but we'll take her to make the most of the weight she receives from her rivals. She had been progressing well in handicaps prior to a slightly disappointing run at Newbury where she raced too keenly, but she meets the winner of that race on 3lb better terms here and may have benefited from the break. Ghaidaa has to be mentioned given that she's the preferred mount of Richard Hills. She has proved disappointing since winning her maiden but produced a much better performance in Listed company last time when finishing strongly from off the pace; there is a concern that the same scenario could unfold. Lindelaan and Raymi Coya were amongst those behind there and the former is overlooked by Ryan Moore in favour of Jamboretta, who has a little to prove in this grade at this trip despite not being beaten all that far in a Group 3 on her penultimate start. Basque Beauty won her maiden very impressively over course and distance but has not lived up to the promise of that performance; she has only had four starts though and the booking of Murtagh takes the eye.
