Sir Michael Stoute won this in 2009 and Yanabeeaa will be fancied to repeat the process. The daughter of Street Cry cost 400,000 dollars and though unlikely to recoup a fraction of that she should go well before heading to handicaps. Cufflink had Kunegunda over 7l behind when an excellent second to Secret Quest at Nottingham but the winner, like Kunegunda, is trained by James Fanshawe and it would be no great surprise to see a form reversal. Moratab and Saslong will both improve for their debuts but the one to beat is STENCIVE as William Haggas' colt showed that last season's promising start at Newbury wasn't lost on him with a very good run behind the useful Noble Mission in a Listed contest at Newmarket a month ago.
