2.05 Epsom: Shes Perfect
First past the post in the French Guineas, she failed to give her running on her next start, but returned with an injury.
Her return at Goodwood was positive given it was after a layoff and the fact the slow pace meant the ensuing sprint finish wasn't to her strength. Cut in the ground will suit, as should the stiff finish.

4.00 Epsom: Benvenuto Cellini
Looked full of class and promise in his first three starts last year before getting bogged down on heavy ground in the Futurity at Doncaster.
His return in the Chester Vase was a smart performance, showing a potent blend of speed and stamina. He's a beautiful actioned colt, so should handle the unique topography well.
5.40 Hexham: Conquer The Breeze
Has won both starts since joining Adam Nicol from Maurice Barnes, both times over two miles at this track.
The handicapper has acted strongly and he's up 21lb for those two wins, but he won with any amount in hand last time and the extra distance here can bring further improvement.
