It's early days for the majority of these fillies, and difficult to get a grip on how well handicapped (or not) some of them might be. The John Gosden-trained New Jazz carries top-weight after posting a respectable seasonal reappearance at Wolverhampton and must surely figure on any shortlist. However, the marginally preferred option is the Kingman filly YIMKIN. She has been campaigned exclusively on the AW to date, displaying an honest and willing nature when pressing the Godolphin-owned Diamond Oasis all the way to the line at Chelmsford (1m) six-weeks ago.
