The big question is whether FANCY BLUE can replicate the level of form she has shown over 1¼m at 1m. The trip does look a disadvantage but she may be good enough to overcome it, arriving on a roll having won Group 1s on her last 2 starts. Old-rival Peaceful is the obvious threat, while Johnny Murtagh's fillies Champers Elysees and Know It All should give a good account
