Form & Verdict
20-1 for a Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) ten days ago and she never got involved before finishing a remote last of seven; should know more over this longer trip but she needs a transformation on her second start.

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Showed no significant promise as a 2yo (four runs; 6f-1m) and is out of the weights for this seasonal debut but had wind surgery in March and wouldn't be the first from her stable to show huge improvement once switched to a middle-distance handicap as a 3yo.

Prescott filly who has been struggling at novice level and should be more interesting when qualified for a mark.

Having another quick run and has failed to beat a rival so far (6f/7f); likely to come into her own once handicapping over a longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Price shot up from £50,000 as yearling to 450,000euros at a breeze-up sale in May; attracted some support into 9-1 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and she kept on under a prominent ride to finish a clear second behind an emphatic winner; that was a promising start and this looks a golden opportunity.

Promise in her three 2yo runs, including on soft; may have needed her reappearance at Newbury (7f, good to firm) six weeks ago but this mark doesn't look an obvious gift.

Absent since running creditably in valuable race at Deauville (6.5f) last August; won easily at Doncaster (7f) the time before; still unexposed and looks interesting on reappearance, especially if the market speaks positively.

52,000euros yearling, £80,000 breeze-up 2yo; first foal; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 85), sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Ambition, half-sister to useful 1m/1m2f winner Harper's Ferry, out of Oaks winner Talent; looks the part on paper and interesting to see how she figures in market.

Runner-up in a pair of novices at Doncaster (7f) and Chelmsford (1m) before beating just one home in 7f Chelmsford maiden on her final run for Alice Haynes; it would come as no surprise to see this Wootton Bassett filly bounce back on yard/handicap debut.
