Verdict

Allante was narrowly beaten by Point Hope, due to run in the opener, at Wolverhampton in December and is preferred to stablemate Final Set. Jockey bookings suggest Sary Arqa is preferred to stable companions Proceed and The Chemist with the latter sporting Cheveley Park’s second colours and PERFECTION wearing the first. John Gosden’s filly should be sharper for last month’s comeback fourth when finishing in front of Proceed and first-time blinkers may bring further improvement. Teenage Gal and the more exposed Ziarah are others worthy of a second glance.
