Verdict

A low draw is of concern to backers of Rumplestiltskin but Aidan O'Brien's filly has looked potentially top class in her two starts and is taken to complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Dhekraa and Marriage Value. The last mentioned made a winning start to her career when landing a Goodwood maiden last month and, being a mid-April foal, may well need more time. Paul Cole's Oceans Apart found just Wednesday's impressive Queen Mary winner Flashy Wings too good on her debut and, following a disappointing effort when odds on next time, duly opened her account at Windsor on her most recent start. The step up to six furlongs should suit and the daughter of Desert Prince has to be respected. The Barry Hills-trained Spinning Queen won nicely at Haydock first time out but this looks tougher, while the choicely-bred Duelling may already want further to be seen at her best. Dhekraa ran out the narrow winner of her maiden at Haydock but that looked a decent race and the Michael Jarvis-trained filly has to be respected but preference is for Rumplestiltskin. Aidan O'Brien's daughter of Danehill is an early foal and has shown decent form in winning her two races at Naas, latterly in Listed race-company. She should stay further in due course but may have too much class for her rivals and is taken to overcome what looks a difficult draw in stall one.
