Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRhapsody shaped as the most progressive filly in training towards the end of last season, winning a York handicap over a trip just beyond this before signing off with a creditable third in an Italian Listed contest, and her powerful hold-up style looks tailor-made for a strongly run renewal over Ascot's stiff mile on good-to-firm ground. The long absence is the only question mark, but the stable clearly thinks plenty of her and her unexposed profile gives her a meaningful edge over most of this field. Zgharta, who ran with distinction at this meeting twelve months ago, and the progressive Alobayyah, who caught the eye finishing fast when arguably not given the clearest of passages last time, are the chief dangers, with Stateira's pattern-class form also commanding respect. **SELECTION: Rhapsody**
