Sacred comes out best at the weights though only managed a Listed win last season and stablemate Queen Aminatu looks the more progressive of that pair. The former was also beaten by SANDRINE (NAP) last summer when Andrew Balding’s filly won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes over today’s trip at Goodwood so the latter gets the vote to make a winning reappearance. White Moonlight’s losing run stretches back to 2019 but Secret Angel placed in the Nell Gwyn on her return and should have the measure of the remainder on these terms.
