Verdict

The ladies day theme continues here with a three-year-old maiden for fillies and the pick of this large field could be Tahrir, Almost Innocent and Bouquet look the pick of the newcomers. The fillies from the Barry Hills yard were well above average last season and Tahrir looked a sure fire future winner when putting in two fine performances. She had obviously shown plenty at home as she was thrown straight in Conditions company. She wasn't disgraced against the likes of Shanghai Lilly and Joint Aspiration and she should be capable of landing this competitive event. John Gosden's Almost Innocent is a well bred daughter of Danhill who will no doubt know what is required for her debut. Meanwhile Bouquet is a half sister to five winners, including the smart Briony Brind John Dunlop's Ladeena could prove best of the other experienced runners, but Tahrir looks the class act here and gets a confident vote.
