Ghepardo is penalised for an earlier success a Brighton and ALBA DEL SOLE can take advantage. John Gosden’s filly was beaten less than a length when third over track and trip last time and can open her account. Of the remainder, Restless Rose and Midnight Guest look the most likely to improve on the back of modest debut efforts while Beyond The Fringe is a half-sister to three winners and a newcomer to keep an eye on.
