Secret Gesture made a pleasing debut when runner-up at Leicester but ESTIQAAMA is proven in the ground. The latter just failed to catch the winner at Salisbury when five lengths clear of the rest of the field and can open her account here. The remainder with experience look nothing out of the ordinary though Ryan Moore's presence on Sweet As Honey suggests she's preferred to stablemate and newcomer Absolutely Right. Hughie Morrison won last year's renewal with the high-class Shirocco Star so both Fanzine and Wild Anthem are worth noting but Enaitch cost 250,000gns and the half-sister to Group 1 winner Simply Perfect looks a bigger threat.
