Verdict

John Gosden has a strong hand in this contest and it can't have been a straightforward decision for Frankie Dettori to ride STAR CATCHER over Anapurna but the filly is still unexposed and proved that both this track and soft ground are to her liking in the Ribblesdale earlier this year. The aforementioned Oaks winner is an obvious threat after her French Group 1 success last time out while this venue ought to suit Fleeting who is sure to arrive late on the scene once again and holds each-way claims for a yard with a fine record in this.
