GOLDEN WHISPER is creeping steadily closer and found only an odds-on favourite too good at Lingfield a week ago - Archie Watson’s filly can go one better in this. Quick Change also came up against a hot favourite when third at Newcastle and can get involved while Initiate looks best of the others with racecourse experience. Criollo is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and Vive La Reine is another newcomer to note as a half-sister to six winners.
