Questioning is the highest rated on official figures and last year's Earl Of Sefton winner has gone well fresh before. He's not easily overlooked but MOONSTONE MAGIC is worth another chance. She went wrong in last season's 1000 Guineas but made a promising reappearance in a Group 3 race at the Curragh earlier this month. Ralph Beckett's filly looks set to return to winning ways in this. Don't Call Me is usually thereabouts against this level of opposition without being quite good enough but does have a fitness advantage over the returning Mukhadram while Cocozza has plenty to find on today's terms.
