MISS MARJURIE won a Group 3 over track and trip in May when Lady Tiana was third and Criteria fifth. Lustrous and Queen Of Ice filled the last two places, though the latter clearly didn't give her true running that day. However, there is no reason why Denis Coakley's filly won't confirm running with that quartet so she gets the nod to complete her hat-trick. Arabian Comet and Jordan Princess weren't far behind the selection in a Listed race at Goodwood in May and should be thereabouts again but Ballybacka Queen probably has a bit to find if she's to win at this level and fellow Irish raider Dark Crusader needs further.
