John Gosden has won three of the last five and SO MI DAR can add to the tally. The Newmarket handler caused a stir when sending the filly for the Derby Trial at Epsom but her allowance helped her overcome Derby hope Humphrey Bogart and she can remain unbeaten. Fireglow had looked the stable second string in the 1000 Guineas but ran the race of her life to finish fourth behind Minding. She certainly wasn't stopping at the finish and is bred to stay this trip. Best In The World won a Listed contest at the Curragh in October and the runner-up has since scored twice including at Group 3 level. Aidan O'Brien's filly didn't enjoy the testing conditions at Navan and is very much better than that. Promising Run is saddled with a penalty for a Group 2 victory and has been well beaten despite finishing runner-up in two starts at Meydan earlier this year. Harlequeen deserves a crack at this level after her excellent second in the Tattersalls Millions.
