Verdict

COULD IT BE LOVE has produced some gutsy displays in a couple of Group 1's this season including finishing second of 13 in the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh in May. Beaten latest but not disgraced at Royal Ascot last month the War Front filly can get back to winning ways here. Probable improver Lightening Quick and the other O'Brien runner Hence can chase the selection home while British raider Lincoln Rocks from the David O'Meara yard deserves consideration.
