A Listed winner at York last May, Lustrous was outmatched in Group 1 races afterwards but is certainly capable of going close at this level. Jordan Princess is another to consider as she won here last year before finishing ahead of Criteria when runner-up at Newmarket. The latter is closely matched with Arabian Comet on collateral form but it may be safer to stick with the race-fit ISLAND REMEDE. A runner-up over 1m6f last time, Ed Dunlop's filly had also finished second before that to Windshear, rated 112, in a conditions race at Doncaster and makes more appeal than the progressive handicapper Dream Child.
