Formscan - William Haggas has won this twice since 2017 and although Next Of Kin was beaten four lengths at Newbury on her nursery debut, she ran out of racing room and should do better now. The unbeaten POLYXENA has won both her starts at Windsor by narrow margins, staying on strongly over 6f suggesting there is improvement to come over the added distance here, and she could land her hat-trick. Al Samsama might also get involved in the finish if she learns to settle after her solid Goodwood second.
