      Verdict

      Three-year-olds have a decent record in this and RUSSIAN HEROINE is on the up. She returned an easy winner to land a double at Ripon last month and a 9lb hike may not be enough to prevent her going in again. Expensive Date is upped in class after scoring at Epsom and the less exposed Queen's Pearl makes more appeal on only her second start of the year. Secret Hint needs to find a bit more off her current mark while Links Drive Lady has lost her form since scoring at Goodwood last month.
