This looks more competitive than last year's inaugural running and History Book will do well to emulate stablemate Living The Life. Partnered by Ryan Moore today, Lamar boasts the highest rating and was narrowly beaten in the Listed Winter Derby Trial here last time. But she had earlier finished behind FRESLES (NAP) on the all-weather at Deauville and the French raider had gone close here in November behind Intransigent, rated 107. Pia Brandt's filly has to have leading claims on that form and should make a bold bid. The progressive Don't Be did not enjoy the best of runs in the Listed Wulfruna Stakes at Wolverhampton last time and looks a threat along with the returning Khatiba. The latter has won three times on the all-weather and should have the beating of the remainder, including Maiden Approach, on today's terms.
