Verdict
LADY OF ANDROS is improving all the time and was unlucky not to win at York, caught in a pocket for too long, so she's well worth the chance to gain compensation. Cuban Lady is open to further improvement now venturing into handicap company, while Angel Shared proved game when winning over C&D 3 weeks earlier and ought to remain competitive.

Verdict4-time winner on AW. Too free when well held in the Kensington Palace Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot on turf debut but wasted little time getting back on track when fourth of 9 in 7f handicap here last week. Drop back to 6f shouldn't be an issue and could well be in the thick of the action.- 8. Cuban LadyJ: Benoit de la SayetteT: Tom CloverF: 2-31
