Crystal Ocean filly who looked a good prospect when making a winning start in 11-runner maiden at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) in September; takes a big step up in grade but this longer trip promises to suit her well, so she shouldn't be passed over at all lightly for leading yard.

Golden Horn filly from very good family that includes Gold Cup hero Courage Mon Ami and 1m4f AW Listed winner Lion's Pride; 11-8 favourite for recent debut at Kempton (7f; hooded, as today), where she raced too freely in rear and never got competitive; ought to be suited by today's longer trip but evidently has a lot to learn.
