Quantity rather than quality here, and with the likes of Shadow Blue and Parlour Maid likely to make this a decent test, it could finally be the opportunity that RIF RAFTOU has been waiting for. She's come up against the likes of the improving Shanksforamillion this summer and there's nothing of that calibre here. She can come through late to win. Boutan is likely to be ignored in the market as her form isn't much to write home about, but Grace Harris has had a couple of first time up winners from other yards and isn't to be underestimated. Parlour Maid is improving and can take third. Black Buble will be interesting if the market speaks in his favour too.
