By Dubawi and the first foal of connections' 2019 Falmouth winner Veracious; 6-1 but made up her ground in striking style when winning cosily in a maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in July; the third and fourth have boosted the form; withdrawn when ground was soft at Goodwood last month and that was a Group 3 (has Group 2 Rockfel entry); exciting prospect.
