Formscan By Tom Weekes - A first-time tongue-tie has been declared on BABOUCHE on her reappearance but returning to today’s fast surface will suit. A fast filly and a top-class winner of August’s Phoenix Stakes, soft ground proved her undoing at Newmarket subsequently and she is likely to be a force in sprints this year. Truly Enchanting is similarly penalised following her Group 2 success last June. Although long absent, she is smart and open to further progression. Grande Marques’ best run last year was when finished second at Group 3 level over the bare five furlongs last October and is suited by a sound surface. The selection’s stablemate Revoke finished second at Listed level last October and has place prospects.
