        Verdict

        The much travelled WITH THE MOONLIGHT won a couple of Group 2 races at Meydan before placing in a Grade 1 race at Keeneland last month. She looks up to landing this and is preferred to the other Godolphin filly Life In Motion, a prolific Listed winner in France for Andre Fabre, who beat stablemate Hidden Dimples at Longchamp recently. Prosperous Voyage would have every chance if running to the same level as when landing the Falmouth on the July course here and Frankie takes over the reins while Jim Crowley prefers the progressive handicapper Al Husn to Shaara. Via Sistina picked-up a Group 3 in France in November and Astral Beau won a Listed race at Doncaster last month.
