BESHAAYIR is in the 1000 Guineas so she'll need to produce the goods here to justify that entry. She was certainly impressive when landing a Newbury maiden in September having been beaten a nose there on her debut and can make a successful reappearance. Northern Angel has a similar profile though she only scrambled home at Nottingham in August. Rasima looked very green on both starts in the summer and looks certain to make progress while Star Attraction will have found 6f too short on her introduction and Benaras, a half-sister to six winners, is expected to do much better in her second season.
