'She wasn't far behind Sea La Rosa at Haydock'

Sea La Rosa is the favourite for the Lillie Langtry Stakes. She finished second in the Lancashire Oaks last time. Free Wind won the race. Sea Laosa's price depends on continuing improvement. Forbearance won Princess Royal Stake at Newmarket last year. She was beaten more than four lengths into third. The market has done a good job in identifying the main danger. It is just a warning to those who would get tucked into prices shorter than 2-1. They need to be confident she can keep improving. If she doesn't improve, she would have won only two of the last ten runnings of this race, and she has won beyond 1m4f.

Tom Marquand is excited to ride Sea La Rosa for the first time since she won the Lancashire Oaks. Sea la Rosa won in the Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock and was second to Free Wind in a dramatic race at that track under Cieren Fallon.

Jessica Harrington is hoping for good ground for Forbearance. Glenartney's main targets are the Park Hill Stakes and the Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp. Viola's in good form but she could do with a bit of water being put on the track overnight. Yesyes is training well and Rob Hornby is happy with her preparation. Emily Dickinson is showing all the right signs for a step up in distance. Aidan O'Brien was delighted with Emily's last run at the Curragh.
