Forecasts

Opera Singer (8/13), Improvista (6/1), Enthralling (7/1), Kalispera (8/1), Andromeda (9/1), Still Rolling (22/1)

Verdict

Frankel filly IMPROVISTA ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and Group-race entries suggest that she is held in high regard. Confidence behind her in the betting would look significant and she gets the nod ahead of Opera Singer, who should be more street-wise following her debut spin at the Curragh and is Ryan Moore's pick ahead of stablemate Andromeda. Kalispera is another to note.

  1. IMPROVISTA
  2. OPERA SINGER (USA)
  3. ANDROMEDA (IRE)
