Verdict

Emma's Gift sprang a surprise when beating Flood Plain and Mystic Dream, among others, at Ascot last month but will do well to follow up in this more competitive-looking affair. Theyskens' Theory was a decent two-year-old and ended last year with a sixth in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies but she's penalised here. Primevere has a chance dropped back in distance while there could be more to come from Sweetie Time this year but ASKAUD ran a cracking race when second on her reappearance at Goodwood, where she missed the break and didn't appear to handle the track. Dandy Nicholls' filly has clearly trained on and can land this nice prize.
