FormscanBy Gary Carson - EMILY DICKINSON thrived when going up in trip last season and could be a leading contender for 'Cup' races this season. The regally-bred filly, a daughter of Irish Oaks winner Chicquita, was fourth in the same classic as her dam but really came into her own over two miles at the end of the year when running out an impressive winner of the Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes. She is currently disputing favouritism for the Ascot Gold Cup and this was the starting point for brilliant stablemate Kyprios last term. Aidan O'Brien also saddles Bolshoi Ballet, who is top rated in the race with a mark of 110. He was a Grade 1 winner in the US last year but that came over ten furlongs and he's unproven at this kind of trip. French Claim was impressive when winning over course and distance on his return last month. This is a tougher task but he has to be respected.
