Form & Verdict
Beaten 5l when sixth of seven on debut in fillies' maiden at Newmarket (5f, good to soft; 100-30) but that looked a good race and she showed pace; this 105,000gns yearling is in good hands to progress and could have a big say.

Went close in the Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good) in May when clear with Wednesday's Molecomb runner-up, and similar form when close fourth of five in Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) next time; well beaten in C&D Listed race latest but that was her first run on fast ground; not ruled out.

Won at Musselburgh on second start; ties in very closely with Argentine Tango on Hilary Needler form and subsequently appeared to run well in small-field Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, good to soft); has progressive RPRs and leading claims.

J: Shane Gray

T: K R Burke

105,000gns yearling; ran below market expectations on Newmarket debut but showed her true colours when coming from last to first in a small field at Musselburgh (good); others have achieved more but this filly is well regarded.

Form & Verdict
33-1 and no match for the first three when fourth of seven over C&D (good) on last month's debut; it looked a hot race and improvement is possible, but he has the worst claims of the three on form.

Five-race maiden; has shown best form over C&D; returns to Musselburgh and could go well, provided he takes to first-time headgear.

Second start (runner-up in a three-runner maiden) appeared far and away his best form; third in a Musselburgh seller on latest; now off ten weeks, gelded and upped in trip for nursery/AW debut.

Easily best of three runs came when second over C&D, but that was in a three-runner race and the form could be dubious; had no obvious excuses when well held at Hamilton ten days ago; others have more solid claims.

Form & Verdict
100,000gns yearling whose unraced dam is from a classy family; sent off favourite when 1l third of six on recent debut at Yarmouth (5f, good), behind two experienced rivals, and he's a strong contender today.
