STYLISTIQUE receives 7lb from the three previous winners and has the standout form in this. She finished second to smart stablemate Daahyeh in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket last year with last Sunday’s 1000 Guineas runner-up Cloak Of Spirits just behind. Exhibit, African Dream and Dawning all won on the all-weather last time but the first named did show promise on Turf at Newmarket last season and can chase home the likely favourite. Baarrij and Lady Andaz are among several newcomers worth a market check.
