Aviation Time sets a good standard in today's race and having run well in listed company both here at Royal Ascot and also at Deauville last time out she can step it up a notch and go close in today's Group 3 contest. Aviation Time was given a peculiar ride last time out Deauville, where she finished 4th of 7 over 5f having been denied a clear run. The key to her however may well be that she gets to tackle 6f for the first time since her debut win, as she has finished well in all of her races to date. Aviation Time rates a 3 star win Pick.

It can often pay to follow a filly or mare in form and Bluestocking is in the form of her life at present, in a race where 5 of the last 12 runnings have been won by the female sex.. She showed some smart from last year but has taken that to another level this season. A smooth win at York was followed by an impressive win the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh. She conceded first run to the then 119 rated Emily Upjohn, but put in a big surge to wear that rival down and win by 1/2 a length. With the likelihood of further improvement to come from Bluestocking, she may well be able to land today's Group 1 prize. Bluestocking rates a 4 star win Pick.
