Verdict
Lavender's Blue comes out best at the weights. She came up short in Pattern company last year though finished third in a Group 3 while Fooraat also has to step up on last season’s effort in a Listed contest at Newmarket. LEAFHOPPER has a bit to find on these terms having ended 2020 winning a conditions race at Wolverhampton but the Gosden yard won this with subsequent dual Group 1 winner Nazeef last year and the Godolphin filly may well find the necessary improvement. Tomorrow's Dream is more exposed than Wolverhampton winner Amniarix while Made In Italy landed a handicap at Newcastle on her return and is preferred to stablemate Pretty In Grey.
