ANNA NERIUM comes out best at the weights and had the best piece of form last year with a victory in the Group 3 Supreme Stakes over 7f at Goodwood in August. The Hannon filly had gone close over today’s trip earlier last season and may prove good enough on her return. Rawdaa ended last term winning over 1m2f at Newmarket and Queen of Time is another dropping back down in trip on her reappearance. Contrive won four times on the all-weather last year but has plenty to find on these terms as does stablemate Shenanigans with Agrotera looking a bigger threat on a narrow-margin defeat in Listed company in France. Shepherd Market beat Savaanah in a Listed race at Saint-Cloud last season while Tiger Eye looks more progressive than stable companion Preening.
