All have revealed potential and much will depend on the levels of improvement that are forthcoming from a choicely-bred field. Matters are not made any simpler by the fact that Cape Islay is the only one to have encountered soft ground but she is more exposed than most here. Frankie Dettori has gone with Anapurna of the Gosden duo and she's likely to improve considerably on achievements to date, with Tauteke and King Power also falling into that category. However, FRANKELLINA did well to oblige on her juvenile debut and has some high-class entries in the future. She should handle trip and ground so receives a cautious vote.
