A first taste of success on turf beckons for EYES, who was beaten a whisker off this mark at Newcastle last time and she went close twice here in 2021. Mudlahhim has also been knocking on the door of late and will be a serious threat if he puts his best foot forward back on turf. Simply Gorgeous failed to fire at Brighton last time but she could have a part to play if the first-time hood does the trick

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KING OF THE PLAINS trained by Charlie Johnston, Middleham, 219 miles.
There’s a suspicion that GHARA was ultimately flattered by her proximity to the winner when fourth in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield, but that effort nevertheless represented a significant step forward and she will take the world of beating back in maiden company. Liable shaped with far greater promise than his finishing position would suggest on debut at Windsor and he is second choice ahead of another likely improver in King of The Plains

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): J & T Gosden (44 wins from 144 runners, 31%) runs LADY EROS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J & T Gosden (12 wins from 45 runners, 27%) runs LADY EROS WEIGHTWATCHER: POWER OF DARKNESS won off a handicap mark of 90, his rating is now down 8lb to 82. LONGEST TRAVELLERS: BLING ON THE MUSIC trained by E Walker, CHIEF’S WILL trained by A Watson, both Upper Lambourn, 190 miles.
The most appealing of these is LADY EROS, who should be all the better for her reappearance spin at Ascot and both the drop back to this trip and quicker ground are factors that will be in her favour. Power of Darkness has slipped to an attractive mark and the 8-y-o is next on the list ahead of United Front and multiple C&D winner Goddess of Fire.
