Verdict
Speciosa in 2006 was the last time the winner of this trial went on to land the 1000 Guineas. Illuminate was a smart sprinter last year and won Group races before just missing out in the Cheveley Park here. She ran well without threatening at the Breeders' Cup in Keeneland after that when stepped up to a mile. Nathra bids to give Frankie his third straight win in this and John Gosden's filly found only the Aidan O'Brien-trained and current 1000 Guineas favourite Minding too good in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile here in October. She finished ahead of COOLMORE on that occasion but O'Brien has no qualms about taking her on again in this with his Group 3 winner partnered by Ryan Moore for the first time. The unbeaten First Victory won the Oh So Sharp here in October with Robanne and Squash behind and the Godolphin filly is another to consider while Aljazzi could be anything having won a maiden as she liked over course and distance on her debut.
