The well bred Pretty Clear has finished runner-up on all four starts to date but has been found a straightforward opportunity and can take full advantage. Henry Cecil's filly ran in to some useful types last term and is entiled to improve on her recent belated reappearance when outpaced in the closing stages by the promising Chapter House. Stars In her Eyes is out of a Classic winner but has nowhere near the same amount of ability and this modest performer looks vulnerable while Jakarta needs to progress to trouble the selection. The remainder are hard to seriously consider in a race that lacks strength in depth.
