SMART CALL looks the one to beat as she bids to return to winning ways in the Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes at Kempton on Saturday.

A multiple Group 1 winner in South Africa, the six-year-old joined Sir Michael Stoute last season and acquitted herself well in top races.

She has not been seen since finishing seventh behind Highland Reel in the Hong Kong Vase in December, but this Listed contest is a significant drop in class.

Hunaina is an interesting challenger for French trainer Henri-Francois Devin who sends her across the channel.

Devin said: "She has just run twice for us and has run very well both times. I hope she'll run another good race on Saturday.

"Sir Michael Stoute's horse looks the one to beat, but she is drawn on the outside."

Ivory said: "She ran very well last week and has come out of it really well.
