Frankie gets to ride the French raider Wasmya, well beaten in the Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp behind One Master on her only start in Group company. The winner's yard is represented by the unbeaten MISS O CONNOR, who started off winning a Gowran maiden for John Feane and ended with a Group 3 victory at Saint-Cloud. There's been give in the ground in all of her races but there's no reason why she shouldn't act on quicker going. Nazeef is also on a five-timer and has the benefit of a recent run at Kempton where she won a Listed race with a bit in hand from Billesdon Brook. She's an obvious threat to all and a line through the latter just gives her the edge over Jubiloso, though Sir Michael Stout's filly looks the type to make great strides this season. The latter's stable companion Queen Power had Lavender's Blue a neck behind in a Newbury Listed contest last May and there looks nothing between the pair again here.
