A chance is taken with MAJESTIC GLORY. She raced freely in the Fred Darling on her most recent start and Andrew Balding's charge will need to settle upped in trip. However, a first-time hood is employed and if that works the oracle the daughter of Frankel could land a telling blow. Mrs Fitzherbert (winner) overcame a troubled run when repelling the challenge of Bashkirova (second) at Goodwood in April and it will be interesting to see if that form is upheld. Of the remainder, Potapova is preferred to Roman Mist. WIN: MAJESTIC GLORY

EACH-WAY: Mrs Fitzherbert
