Well-bred filly who proved green on her Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack; 3-1) this month, but still showed ability in finishing fourth of the 11 runners; should have learnt plenty from that and respected.

Won four in a row last year, the first two on Polytrack/Tapeta and the last in Listed company on turf; has rather regressed in three starts since returning in February and was around 9l behind Madame Ambassador in a Group 3 at Haydock (1m4f, good) 20 days ago; needs the hood to help her turn things around; stable also runs Shining Jewel.

Unraced on softer than good; free-going sort who won four in a row in Britain, the last of which was a 1m2f Yarmouth Listed race in good style in September, with Infinite Cosmos beaten about 3l; 8-15 when second in Meydan Group 2 (1m1f) this February and it wasn't up with the Yarmouth form, but she could still prove a force at this level.

Sea The Stars half-sister to winners Echo Point (1m AW; RPR 102), Western Writer (7f/1m including UAE AW; 97) and Chosen Star (11.4f; 68); dam 7f/1m AW 2yo winner (90), half-sister to UAE 2m Group 3 winner Whispering Gallery out of 1m/14.5f Group 2 winner; makes plenty of appeal on breeding for top yard and interesting to see how she fares in the market, especially in relation to stablemate Sapphire Seas.

Came good with clearcut success on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; behind three of today's rivals when seventh of 11 over C&D (soft) on turf debut the following month but remains unexposed and might be seen to better effect if the ground is less testing today.

J: Harry Davies

All four starts on AW, finishing runner-up three times in maiden/novice company before getting off the mark on 1m Southwell handicap debut 39 days ago; could easily have more to offer but hard to know whether she'll cope with the forecast slow ground now switching to the turf.

Form & Verdict
Finished a promising fourth of 14 on her Southwell debut (7f, Tapeta) last month and only found one too good over the same C&D a fortnight later; longer trip should be within range, but the form of neither race has worked out particularly well so she probably need to improve.

Chased home a subsequent winner on her belated debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in October and went one better at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month; runner-up is now a 15-race maiden, but the fourth and sixth won next time and going up again in distance should suit; major player.
