Figure Of Speech, beaten a short-head by Brown Sugar in Kempton's Group 3 Sirenia Stakes, didn't appear to be fancied and never got into the action on his debut behind Emirates Flyer here three weeks ago when Najm Suhail finished just in front and Journeyman a couple of lengths behind. His stable is also represented by Pretend, who made all for a very impressive victory over this trip at Kempton in November and is the choice of Mickael Barzalona, and AUTUMN LILY who is handed the vote. She's a three times winner on fast ground and will be better for her run behind her stable companion Wedding Ring in the UAE 1000 Guineas Trial where she only faded in the closing stages. Man Amongst Men was also involved in the race won by Emirates Flyer and was well beaten but will have come on for the run and can get much closer.
