50/1

Kitten's Joy filly who has shown fair form in hitting the frame in pair of maidens at up to 7f to date. However leap of improvement required to play a part now tackling listed level.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Elione Chaves| T: D Danekilde| OR: 78

66/1

French Navy filly who won 6-runner, 6f maiden at Jagersro (Sweden) in November. Has since switched yards but this a whole lot tougher making debut on these shores for all she's open to improvement.

Mnasek⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: D Watson| OR: 96| C

7/2

Promising filly who defied big odds when landing a 7f maiden on debut in December, very slowly away but making headway to forge clear over 1f out. Sound claims with progress anticipated.

Nayefah^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Curatolo| T: N Bachalard| OR: 80

18/1

Fairly useful form in 2 starts to date, 6¾ lengths second of 8 to Mnasek in maiden at this course (7f) 42 days ago. However, work to do to reverse placings with aforementioned rival on same terms.

Form: 22-

Revolutme¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sandro Paiva| T: B Olsen| OR: 77

100/1

Fair filly. Winner at the Curragh in August. 100/1, last of 16 in minor event at Naas (7f, heavy) when last seen in October. Has since switched yards and she's vulnerable to less exposed sorts here.

Soft Whisper²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 95| C| D

4/9

Promising sort. Two wins from 4 runs last year. 6/4, career best when winning UAE 1000 Guineas Trial (7f) earlier this month. Feasible to think she can do even better still.

Form: 2211-1

Super Chianti⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: D Watson| OR: 83| C

15/2

Fairly useful form when making a winning debut in 5-runner maiden at this course (6f) 70 days ago by ¾ length from Nayefah, idling late but always holding on. Open to progress.

Forecasts

Soft Whisper (4/9), Mnasek (7/2), Super Chianti (15/2), Nayefah (18/1), Heshmah (50/1), Khatun (66/1), Revolutme (100/1)

SOFT WHISPER has progressed with each start to date, landing back-to-back nurseries at Salisbury/Pontefract prior to taking another step forward to score over 7f here on return to action 3 weeks ago. She's worth her place at this higher level and earns the vote. Mnasek was impressive when making a winning debut and is feared most with progress expected, ahead of Super Chianti.
