Chain Of Daisies won a Listed race at Salisbury in August and followed up in this grade at Windsor. She may be capable of further progress this year while Steel of Madrid made a winning reappearance in the Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket when Autocratic was almost 10 lengths adrift. Mondialiste won the Arlington Million over this distance last year but has disappointed over shorter trips so far this term. SO MI DAR hasn’t won a Group 1 so far but she may well have landed the Oaks last year had she not been injured. The first two got first run on her in the Prix de l’Opera at Chantilly in October and she should give Ballydoyle’s legion of top-class fillies plenty to think about this year.
