Newmarket

Scommessa Sicura brings the most experience and nearly won over C&D last time but there is plenty to catch the eye among her opponents. The 2,000,000euros price tag, a smart brother and her trainer's record in this race all augur well for newcomer Peaceful Charm (second choice) and it will probably prove telling if the betting does so too. Madam Secretary could be a big improver for Aidan O'Brien but watch out also for last month's Royal Ascot runner TALL TREES. She was 100-1 for the Albany and Blue Sign was 250-1 but trouble in running prevented both of them from showing what they were truly capable of and Tall Trees, who did eventually find some space, was one of the strongest finishers.[Richard Austen]
