Race preview
The only filly in the race, TRUE LOVE, can beat the colts. Although a dominant winner of the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, it is the form of her previous run which stands out. Runner-up at Navan back in May, that contest received a significant boost when the winner went on to land the Coventry Stakes. Stepping back up in trip here would be a slight concern for the Aidan O'Brien-trained youngster but, in a four-runner field, the pace is unlikely to be too strong. Despite still being a maiden, stablemate Puerto Rico looks the biggest threat. Having met trouble in running here last time, the son of Wootton Bassett can reverse that form with Learntodiscover.
