Dazzling Star represents last year’s winning yard but finished behind runner-up Pretty Crystal in a Group 3 at Ascot last month and that pair step up in trip along with Carla's Way, a disappointing favourite in the Albany. But SHUWARI landed a Listed race over today’s distance at Sandown to remain unbeaten and Ollie Sangster’s filly gets the vote having beaten subsequent Sweet Solera winner Fallen Angel on that occasion. Darnation and Hard To Resist are novice winners over 7f while Forever Blue is a maiden winner over 6f.
