Formscan By Gary Carson - There is plenty of depth to this race and several should make headlines this year. WHIRL is suggested as the most appealing option at this stage as she lays here Guineas and Oaks credentials on the line. A Group 3 winner here on her final start as a juvenile, the daughter of Wootton Bassett certainly seems to be heading in the right direction. One Look, Azada and Bright Thunder are others to bear in mind.
