Verdict

Aidan O'Brien won this last year with Winter and three-time Group 1 winner Rhododendron represents the trainer this year. The four-year-old brings the highest official rating in to the race but it might be worth taking her on with URBAN FOX who produced a career best at the Curragh last time. William Haggas' charge could have more improvement in her Pretty Polly win and she's lightly raced for her new connections. 1,000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook isn't one to rule out at a likely bigger prices if she improves for this greater emphasis on stamina.
