Verdict

Ryan Moore travels over specifically to ride TOGETHER for Aidan O'Brien and the Newmarket 1000 Guineas runner-up looks well up to going one better. Just touched off by Blue Bunting at HQ when Misty For Me and Laughing Lashes, who had both beaten her last season, were well beaten, she's had plenty of experience at this level and need only reproduce that run to land this classic. Emiyna did very well to beat the older Lolly For Dolly in a Group 3 here with today's rivals Seeharn and Look At Me behind and won't go down without a fight though the latter wasn't at her best and can do better. John Oxx' filly holds Banimpire on a line through the runner-up and the latter may need further while Rose Bonheur has been winning sprints so it's a surprise to see her tackling a mile. Chrysanthemum looked very useful when beating Wild Wind on only her second start in a Group 3 here in September and though that was on soft ground there's no reason she shouldn't be as effective on quicker going.
