Verdict
SMART CALL (NAP) is the highest rated of these and was third behind Coronet, rated 113, in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York last month - she’s the one to beat in this. Mia Tesoro beat Glade, Maid To Remember and Company Asset to land a Listed race at Nottingham last time while Luca Cumani doesn’t normally tilt at windmills so Four White Socks may well be up to this level having won a novices’ race at Goodwood. She’s getting plenty of weight from the selection as is another three-year-old in Magnolia Springs, who won a Listed race at Goodwood last month. Winning handicapper Rasima is upped in class and Snowy Winter has so far come up short at this level.
