Race preview
Cases can be made for several of these but preference is for the admirable HIGHFIELD PRINCESS, who takes a drop in grade having run well in Group company on her last three outings. A winner at Royal Ascot in June, the seven-time scorer is taken to get the better of the frustrating Bounce The Blues, who has long threatened to win a race of this nature. With Thanks will be a big player if the rain falls, while Passionova and Rising Star both ran well here last time out.
