Form & Verdict
650,000gns yearling by Night Of Thunder; readily made a winning debut at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September; 5-4 favourite when hooded for a novice here (1m1f, good to soft) five weeks ago and always prominent before losing out by half a length; that rival was making her debut but Miss Scott is weighted to turn the tables today.

Won her sole 2yo start; won a 1m2f Newbury novice in July before finishing 1l runner-up in a Salisbury Listed race; needs more in this company but is improving so has to be taken seriously.

Miss Scott

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John & Thady Gosden

Won at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September on sole 2yo start; both runs this season have been in novice races at Newbury, reappearing with a close second (1m1f, good to soft) and winning last time (1m2f, good to firm); this unexposed 3yo goes up in grade today but is a half-sister to two Listed winners and is in top hands, and could play a leading role.

110,000gns yearling by Dark Angel; 17-2 from 11-1 for a conditions stakes here (7f, good to soft) last September when a close third of seven, always prominent; that was a bright start against fairly useful opposition, which earns respect despite her coming from a speedy family.

Solid debut behind a couple of useful fillies last autumn but then wasn't seen again until a fortnight ago, when easy to back (1m2f); again finished third to a couple of useful fillies at Newbury and holds decent claims with that under her belt.

Second foal; dam 6f winner (RPR 97), half-sister to 2m Group 1 winner Quickthorn (who's by this one's sire Nathaniel) out of 7f-1m2f winner; her stable has made a splash with 2yo newcomers this term.
