Wasseema showed progressive form last term and, with further improvement to come, Sir Michael Stoute's filly gets the vote to make a winning return ahead of Wake Up Maggie and Highway To Glory. The last mentioned is capable but she proved to be expensive to follow last term, failing to trouble the judge, and may be best watched on her reappearance. Leopoldine is entitled to come on for her return but she needs to improve to trouble the selection, while Chantilly Beauty did not progress as much as may have been anticipated last term and is hard to recommend. Wake Up Maggie is less exposed than most of these and capable of fair form but Chris Wall's filly may have to settle for minor honours here with preference for Wasseema who is taken to make a winning return.
