White Willow went close at Newcastle last month but the four-year-old is conceding weight to the younger horses including CHORUS SONG. The latter finished a promising third behind a subsequent winner over a shorter trip here on her debut and breeding suggests she’ll improve for this extra distance. Sous Les Etoiles is a similar type to the selection and is another to consider while something went amiss with Ask Peter last time and better is expected.
