The drop back in trip doesn't look ideal for Chasing Stars but should be fine for SAN SICHARIA whilst Royal Confidence is of interest. This went to a French based filly last year and Chasing Stars must be feared but she has a miler's pedigree and has shown all of her best form at that trip so we'll look to take her on with San Sicharia. She was based in France and has her first run for new connections as she looks to build on her career record of two wins in eight starts. She wasn't beaten far in a York Group 3 over six furlongs last season so there's no doubt that she has the class to be successful over her optimum trip if she handles the faster ground. Royal Confidence already has a Listed win to her name and connections are presumably hopeful that she can add to that at a higher level having kept her in training. The yard are in fine form and she should be in the shake-up. Chantilly Tiffany has to give weight away all round which won't aid her chances but she may have more to offer this term. Damaniyat Girl is sure to be popular having chased home Fantasia on her reappearance and she makes a good bit of appeal whilst we wouldn't be too quick to rule out Richard Hannon's pair but it's to San Sicharia that we look for our winner.
