Sixth foal; Sea The Stars half-brother to four winners notably Efaadah (7f-1m including Group 3) and Alrahma (5.5f/6f 2yo including Group 2); dam 1m1f Listed winner; in top hands and he's one to be interested in on debut.

Career has been confined to 1m2f novice wins on Lingfield AW last December and this April; showed plenty of inexperience still when making all in a four-runner race last time but stacks of promise too and it would not be a surprise if he found the marked improvement necessary on this handicap debut.

Won on debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in March; well beaten at Redcar in October on sole run since but the heavy ground may not have suited and this 380,000gns Frankel filly retains considerable potential.

Useful effort on debut last September when second at Nottingham (8.3f); then absent until this September, when fourth at Salisbury (1m2f) and not quite at the same level, but she could improve for that run and is a key player if tapping back into her initial promise.

105,000gns yearling; eighth foal; brother to Flat winners Juliet Capulet (7f 2yo Group 2), Strike Red (6f/6.5f including 2yo; RPR 106), Juliette Fair (6f 2yo; 101) and Teqany (2m/2m1f; 77); a useful standard is needed on debut but there's lots to like about his pedigree; the betting may guide.
