In depth

Verdict

Topper Bill, a winner over this trip at Catterick for Adrian Nicholls, made most and battled on when headed over 6f here three weeks ago and should again take care of runner-up First Smile and Barber Of Seville, who was well beaten. LAST SUNSET couldn't catch stable companion Soft Whisper over the course and distance early last month but the winner went on to land the UAE 1000 Guineas very impressively so she looks the one to beat. Nibras Passion showed only moderate form in the UK but it was a different story at Abu Dhabi last month where he looked very impressive.
