Form & Verdict
Trained as 2yo by David Menuisier (same owners); Sea The Stars filly who overcame evident inexperience to emerge well on top in a maiden at Sandown (1m, soft) in September on debut; 4-5 for Group 3 at Baden-Baden (1m, soft) five weeks later, which she didn't win but her running-on second of eight suggested she could be a very useful prospect and is far and away the best performance in this field.

T: William Haggas

Trained as 2yo by David Menuisier (same owners); won on debut at Sandown (1m, soft) last September and runner-up in German Group 3 (1m, soft) in October; narrowly defied penalty in a novice at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) on her recent stable/seasonal debut; she's unexposed and may well have more to offer but has to take a big step forward from that reappearance win.

Very modest form over hurdles and well beaten at 25-1 on her Flat handicap debut here (1m4f, good) two months ago; she's hard to fancy on the back of that but the first-time tongue-tie may help this bumper winner and she's not written off.

0-7 over hurdles and hasn't threatened on her first three Flat starts; however, this bumper winner goes up in trip off a lowly opening Flat mark and Hollie Doyle has been booked; no surprise to see a good run.
