Several are entered in the 1000 Guineas including Tajaanus and Natural for the Hannon yard and both are preferred to stablemate All Out. The former won the Sweet Solera at Newmarket last year while Hikmaa landed a Listed race over track and trip but had earlier finished behind GAVOTA (NAP). The latter was narrowly beaten in the Oh So Sharp at Headquarters in October by Wednesday’s Nell Gwyn runner-up Altyn Orda and she gets the vote with Ryan Moore taking over the reins today. Fille De Reve won a novices’ race at Kempton and Heart Power picked-up a maiden race at Meydan in March. Dan's Dream is a more recent novice winner at Bath while Dance Diva has won in Listed company but has plenty to find with Tajaanus on last season’s form.
