HORSE POWER Now is the time to give it a Whirl at Goodwood!

WHIRL can make full use of her weight-for-age advantage to win the Qatar Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.

- By ANITA CHAMBERS

HORSE POWER Now is the time to give it a Whirl at Goodwood!

The three-year-old fillies receive 91b from their elders in this 10-furlong event and over the past 10 years the Classic division has firmly held sway, winning seven times.

While fellow Aidan O’Brien runner Bedtime Story and Coronation Stakes heroine Cercene also tick that age box, preference is for Whirl who already boasts Group One-winning form at this distance having landed the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh last month.

She had to dig deep to fend off Kalpana by a length and a quarter, with that filly giving the form a huge boost when only just denied by Calandagan in last week's King George at Ascot.
