The Sweden-based Silent Night was fourth in this last year but hasn't won in six starts here. Godolphin have won the last six of these and SOFT WHISPER (NAP) won the UAE 1000 Guineas Trial here then the classic under Frankie by seven lengths from today's rival Mnasek. She landed a Newmarket Listed contest in September, with Wedding Dance six lengths behind, though the latter was returning from over a year off and won next time at Wolverhampton. Pevensey Bay has been racing in France and is fit from a run at Deauville last month but the remainder all have plenty to find on official ratings.
