A winner at Newbury in August, Sheila's Showcase was well beaten when penalised at Ascot last time and NAPANOOK can take advantage of the weight concession. The latter was beaten less than a length at Catterick last month and should have the measure of the others with racecourse experience including Aristomachos and Intuitive. Jim Crowley prefers the chances of Buniann to those of Jirnaas while fellow newcomer City Of Love is a half-sister to a Listed winner in France and the Godolphin filly is another to note.
