Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last 10 renewals of this and each of his three runners warrant respect here. Preference is for MAGIC WAND given the way she bounced back to form with a four-length success at Royal Ascot last time in the Ribblesdale and provided the rain stays away, she could be hard to beat. One that wouldn't mind rainfall is Epsom Oaks winner Forever Together in her bid to replicate what Enable did last year and become a dual Oaks winner; she was unsuited by the step back to 1m2f on fast ground in the Pretty Polly last time out. Sea Of Class may be able to reward her trainer's patience and she arrives entirely unexposed here.
