Verdict
Prosperous Voyage has leading claims at the weights having beaten Random Harvest and Potapova when winning a Group 3 at Epsom under Frankie. But she finished behind third-placed GRANDE DAME in the Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket last autumn so the Gosdens’ filly gets the vote to make a wining reappearance. Jumbly finished in front of Honey Girl when runner-up on her return to action having won a Group 3 on the round course here last summer while the latter won a Group 3 at the Curragh earlier when Queen Aminatu was well beaten. Rogue Millennium posted a good effort in a Group 2 over 1m2f at York last time but has only raced over longer trips so far.
