Bounce The Blues was well beaten in this last year and finished second to Soft Whisper in Listed company at Chelmsford last time. The Godolphin filly also beat Improvised, She Do and Internationalangel on that occasion while Oscula makes a quick reappearance having gone close in a Group 3 at Ascot last week. The latter had earlier beaten subsequent winner Miss Carol Ann and is also preferred to Heredia and Primo Bacio. Allayaali looks to have been laid out for this having finished second in the Oh So Sharp at Newmarket last year and having her first outing since but a chance is taken on SAMAHRAM (NAP). French fillies have a decent record in this contest and Francis Graffard sends over his unexposed Listed Longchamp winner with Frankie booked to do the steering.
