Dark Lady’s defeat of Millisle in a Salisbury Group 3 in September is the stand-out form in this. She’s had wind surgery since last season, and is likely to win further races this year if she’s trained on. REPARTEE (NAP) also had very good form as a juvenile, however, including a third in the Group 2 Gimcrack at York. He meets the Hannon filly on level terms in this and can reward the long trip down from North Yorkshire. Fleeting Prince has had a run, finishing fourth in a Newcastle Group 3, and he won his maiden over track and trip last year. Istanbul should have more to offer this year and looks the pick of the remainder.
