God Given won the Pinnacle Stakes over this course and distance last time out and this has apparently been her target since. She needs more to feature in this company, however, especially if HORSEPLAY builds on her second-place finish in the Middleton Stakes last time out. Her yard is in excellent form at present and the form of that York race has received some strong boosts since. She is preferred to Precious Ramotswe who is unlikely to go down without a fight here for a yard that knows what it takes to win this contest, but this filly has ground concerns today with this being the quickest surface she has raced on to date.
