Verdict
MISREPRESENT weakened close home over C&D last time and eventually finished fifth. John Gosden's filly is fancied to find the requisite improvement and open her account here. Focal never threatened on her debut last summer but should be noted in the betting on her return, while Faith And Hope may have resented the Fibresand last time and better is expected today. Gracefield and Sistine are worth a second look on their debuts, but fellow newcomer Eraadaat is a half-sister to the useful Fajr as well as four other winners and she makes more appeal.
