Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies & Mares)

Fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time and carrying 131 lb from stall 9, Jancis arrives just 24 days after finishing fifth in a Group 2 when finishing well but finding the task beyond her — though that Dahlia form is arguably flattered, her best coming from off the pace hoping for trouble in running.

Arisaig shaped with plenty of promise when fourth, beaten just 2½ lengths in Listed company at Goodwood latest, and a strong pace will play to her hand — this hold-up filly closes best on fast ground and is well suited by today's conditions. The chief concern is her winless recent run of form.

Blue Bolt arrives on the back of a smooth Listed win at Goodwood, travelling well before asserting late, and her record of three wins in her last five starts underlines consistent form; a top course trainer, she's at her best on a sound surface and our rating of 136 marks her the one to beat.

Finished a length second in a Group 2 latest but ranks last of 15 here and has a clear step up in class to find, making her genuinely hard to fancy despite a top course jockey booking and proven versatility on any surface.

Ran to her very best when landing a Listed prize last time out, and the yard is firing — but 38 days off and a rating of 104 leave her with ground to make up on official marks, even if she's likely to finish strongly over this trip and going.
