Going: Yielding
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
Although stall one might not be the best place to be with the ground on the easy side, it's still hard to overlook the claims of ROUSING ENCORE given how well his Royal Ascot form is working out. A winner of his previous two starts, the Acclamation colt made the running in the Coventry Stakes before finishing sixth, beaten five lengths in total. The second, third and fourth have all won at Group 2 level since. It may not have been the strongest maiden that Apricot Twist won impressively over C&D last month and she has a fairly quick turnaround as well. This race will tell us more about how far up the ranks she can go. The likes of Badb, Slan Abhaile and Matilda Picotte all have solid pattern form to their names and merit respect. It's interesting that Shane Foley rides early season maiden winner Ocean Quest ahead of 95-rated stablemate It's Showtime Baby and she is another in the mix.
