The penalised Far Hope made a winning debut at Newbury last month with Heavenly Rose behind. The latter is preferred to stablemate and course third Jury Pico but DEGREE gets the nod. The half-sister to Group 1 winner Integral placed over today’s trip on her debut in December and much better is expected from Sir Michael Stoute’s filly this year. Angel's Kiss also represents Cheveley Park for a powerful yard and is related to a Listed winner while La Sensazione is another newcomer to keep an eye on.
