With a doubt concerning Godolphin's older horses, Gonfilia looks worth taking on which we do with Chic, who is preferred to the three-year-olds Classical Dancer and Incheni. The last mentioned beat just two home in the 1,000 Guineas last time but this looks more her grade while Henry Candy's Classical Dancer is unexposed. However, the classic generation face a stiff task against their older rivals at this time of year and preference is for Chic. Sir Michael Stoute's filly progressed last season, producing her best effort when landing a Listed race at Ascot on her final start. Provided that the daughter of Machiavellian is fit enough for her reappearance, Chic looks worth a bet. Paul Cole's Zietory is another worthy of a mention but the vote goes to Chic.
