CITY SELECTIONS INTERNATIONALANGEL recorded a four-timer over this course and distance last year and it would be no surprise if there was more to come from the five-year-old mare. After a gallant effort behind the subsequent Group 2 winner Highfield Princess on her penultimate start, the daughter of Dark Angel gave a good account to finish second at Longchamp and she gets the nod to land the spoils today. Soft Whisper remains unexposed at this trip and looks a likely challenger, while Bounce The Blues can follow them home.

PLAY SMARTER SOFT WHISPER put a disappointing spell in Dubai behind her when making all in an Ascot handicap 2 months ago and can record her third success at this level. Bounce The Blues bumped into one who has Group 1 potential at Haydock on her return and is the obvious threat, with Internationalangel best of the others.
