A big field but ANDAZ will likely prove popular for Roger Varian's in-form yard. She found joint-favourite Bank Of Gibraltar, rated 80, too good last time and should go close again with a similar effort. Alyaa was sent off favourite on her latest start in November but disappointed and steps back up in trip while the former Irish-trained Spirit Glance and the import from Germany, Bint Arcano, make their debuts for new yards. Sonnet and Mukaabra are both newcomers to note.
