SO DI MAR should be sharper for a recent reappearance behind Winter in the Nassau at Goodwood. John Gosden’s filly just missed out in a Group 1 at Chantilly last year and can go one better on her return to France. She’s preferred to the other UK raiders Ajman Princess, Wilamina and Smart Call though the latter is better than last month’s below par effort at the Curragh suggests. Siyoushake leads the home challenge having only her second start over 1m2f and Left Hand is also capable on her day.
