With the Gosden yard in such good form, EASTERN BELLE gets the vote to make a winning reappearance. She was placed in both starts over track and trip at the end of last season and may well improve racing on fast ground for the first time. Wedding Wish should also be winning this year and makes more appeal than Venus Grace and Sotise. Roger Varian runs a couple of interesting newcomers in Dorraar and Hadaatha with Paul Hanagan choosing the latter ahead of Etaab. Solar Moon, Ramshackle and stablemate Executrix are others to keep an eye on, along with 310,000gns purchase Margaret's Mission.
