Mark Johnston has trained two of the last six winners of this fillies’ Listed race and saddles the unbeaten Qipao but this is a decent renewal and many of her rivals are similarly unexposed. Inspiral was impressive when beating a subsequent winner on debut at Newmarket but WILD BEAUTY has been improving at a rate of knots and she looks a threat to all if handling today’s quicker surface. Allayaali overcame inexperience to score at Doncaster but Almohandesah will need to take a further step forward and Sunstrike was well beaten in the Albany at Ascot after winning at Kempton. Safra looks the pick of the remainder.
