ETHICAL and DUCHESS OF PALOMA are maturing with progressive profiles - both should remain competitive in their bid to complete a hat-trick. The latter is closely matched with SCARLETT HEART and ANNEWITHAN E on recent form, so those rivals warrant respect. SIGRID SWING deserves to get her head in front after 4 consecutive second-place finishes.
