An emphatic winner of both her outings to date the impeccably-bred FORMAL (5) can handle this rise in class. The Sir Michael Stoute trained filly won decisively in testing conditions at Leicester (7f) and looks a potential top-notch performer. Ryan Moore elects to ride ECSTATIC (4) who could prove the main danger. Racing for trainer Aidan O'Brien the filly buckled coming out of the stalls when fifth in the 1m G2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster last time and is surely capable of better. Stablemate BUBBLING (1) remains of interest after a third in a Listed event at Leopardstown. DUTY FIRST (3) finished runner-up in the G3 Prestige Stakes. Cannot be dismissed.
