Amira gets a narrow vote here with Kawn being of interest against her, with Easter Egg and Faleh also warranting mentions. Although no world-beater, Amira has shown more than enough to be given strong claims in this contest and should go well, and her breeding suggests that easy going will not be a problem. John Gosden's Easter Egg showed enough on her debut to be rated a danger, while Faleh could improve for dropping back in trip today from her debut. Border Alliance has shown ability in a light career, although his absence tempers strong enthusiasm. Money for the 500,000 guineas purchase Kawn should be noted and would certainly be of interest, while James Fanshawe's Shesthebiscuit at least has some form in the book, and she was second to a Barry Hills runner last time, Hills being responsible for today's selection, Amira.
