LIBERTANGO had recent Phoenix Stakes winner Sun Goddess behind in second when landing the Albany at Royal Ascot so that form looks strong and she's taken to make amends for a short-priced reversal at Newmarket. Owner Jaber Abdullah has won this race 5 times (also had the second last year) and his wide-margin Leopardstown maiden scorer Star of State is feared most ahead of Wild Blossom, whose yard has won this twice since 2019, and Ruby Moon, who was 2 lengths behind the selection at Newmarket.
