PROSPEROUS VOYAGE has already beaten Wild Beauty on a couple of occasions including when missing out by only a neck at Newmarket in the 1000 Guineas. That’s the strongest form on offer and with pedigree suggesting Ralph Beckett’s filly will improve for this extra distance, she gets the vote with Frankie taking over the reins.
