Aidan O’Brien sent out last year’s winner but Group 3 winner Content faces a tougher task in this. Compatriot Porta Fortuna landed the Cheveley Park over 6f at Newmarket and steps up in trip along with Carla's Way, who won the Rockfel over 7f in September and is still improving. But SHE FEELS PRETTY showed a devastating turn of foot when returning the impressive winner of a Grade 1 over today’s trip at Woodbine on only her second start and there looks plenty more to come from her. Chad Brown has won this a record five times and Hard To Justify beat Life's An Audible and Gala Brand at Belmont while Buchu is another progressive filly expected to go well.
