Verdict

In division two of the maiden, Dona Alba is selected ahead of Pantherii and Redeemed. Fourth to Celtic Slipper on her Goodwood debut, Dona Alba has to be seriously considered today, as do Pantherii, who disappointed last time after showing good promise on her debut and for who the step up in trip could help today, and Redeemed, who improved from run one to finish third at Newmarket last time. It would be no surprise to see Totem Flower and Patio - who ran in the same race at Ascot last time - and Fleur de Montjeu, L'Etincelle and Miss Jolyon improve on what they have shown so far, while, among the interesting newcomers are the Stuart Williams-trained Dusk Ballet and Ed Dunlop's Fathoming. The selection, though, is Dona Alba.
