Race Tip

The class-dropping UNLESS (11) ran quite nicely when sixth in the 1 ¼m G2 Blandford Stakes at the Curragh last month. Aidan O'Brien's charge looks likely to be ridden more prominently this time around, as was the case when scoring in Listed company three starts ago, and she gets the nod under Ryan Moore. SEA THE LADY (9) also drops in grade after finishing third in the G1 Preis der Diana over 1 ⅜m at Dusseldorf and needs to be respected. It's hard to rule out BOOGIE WOOGIE (5), who eases in trip after finishing fifth in the G2 Park Hill Fillies' Stakes on soft ground at Doncaster and ROUSAY (4) should give another good showing around this level.
