Verdict

Ascot Brass, who has a tremendous strike-rate in Scandanavia, was beaten less than a length in a Group 2 on his debut here a year ago but ran poorly in his next two starts. Samedi Rien has done her winning in Spain and the South of France so may not be up to this. Southwell winner Light Of Peace goes for the in-form pair Charlie Appleby and James Doyle but the stable's Wild Beauty has a 16lb higher rating. A Grade 1 winner at Woodbine in 2021, she ran in two Group 1's in the spring after landing the Fred Darling at Newbury on her reappearance in April. Carolina Reaper has won four times in New Zealand including a Group 3 last time but this can go to SOFT WHISPER, eight times a winner including in Listed company here and best when fresh.
