Hardy Blue is unexposed on Turf and should improve on her comeback fourth behind Charlemagne Diva at Thirsk. Royal Guinevere won at Nottingham in April and has been placed in both starts since while Jubilee Dancer sprang a bit of a surprise on her reappearance at Redcar and should go close if the headgear works a second time. Deepest Blue has place claims again but there was plenty to like about SECRET EMPRESS' latest fourth in a Pontefract maiden and she may be improving. Bryan Smart's filly gets the nod.
