Nazeef has moved through the ranks with ease and looks ready for a crack at this level having ended last year with a handicap success at Newmarket. But John Gosden also runs Scentasia and she’s preferred on a couple of Listed victories on the all-weather at Lingfield in the Autumn. Agincourt is another Listed winner to consider while Natalie's Joy raced only once last year having won in Listed company as a two-year-old. But at her best, BILLESDON BROOK (NAP) is capable of conceding weight to all of the above given the 2018 1000 Guineas winner popped-up in a Group 1 event again last year when landing the Sun Chariot at Newmarket in October. Richard Hannon’s filly is taken to make a winning return having won both previous outings on the all-weather. The latter’s stablemate Posted has something to find with Agincourt and Audarya is preferred while Romola was beaten in a handicap here last time though makes more appeal than stable companion Shepherd Market.
