Having to guess at the likely ground conditions makes a hot renewal even more difficult to call. SEAL OF APPROVAL should have come on for an outing in the Yorkshire Cup and had Talent back in third when landing the Group 1 Fillies' and Mares race at Ascot in October. She also has the beating of Marco Botti's new inmate Charity Line, a Group 1 winner in Italy, on collateral form and is the one to beat if getting some cut. The unbeaten Sultanina is closely matched with Silk Sari on her victory in a Group 3 contest over track and trip in May. John Gosden's other runner Pomology is also unbeaten but hasn't raced since August while there was little between Wall Of Sound and We'll Go Walking when they filled the places in a Listed race at Nottingham recently with Rock Choir back in fifth. This is a much tougher renewal than last year when Moment In Time finished second but Lustrous has a shout on her second in the Ribblesdale at Ascot if the ground rides fast.
