The first four home in this year's Albany all look smart and the runner-up in that race, AWAKEN, is very difficult to oppose in her bid to make it third time lucky now back in maiden company. She had a few subsequent winners behind when a clear second on debut at Yarmouth prior to that terrific Royal Ascot effort, form which has been boosted by the subsequent Group-race victories of the winner (Venetian Sun) and fourth home (Fitzella). Newcomers Stolen and Catching The Moon can fill the places.
