A'Ali filly defied big odds to make very promising debut when second to subsequent Coventry winner Warsaw in Navan maiden (third and fourth have also won since) in May; sold for £225,000 at Goffs London Sale in June and four days later much better again when staying on fifth of 17 (beaten 3l) in Group 3 Albany at Royal Ascot; sure to win races and Lowther Stakes entry sets a high standard here.
