Best effort from three so far came at Chepstow when third to Debutante's Ball, showing speed and weakening late on. Poor effort last time, though, and questionable whether this stiff finish will be ideal. Others preferred.
No great stars in his family and he was soon beaten at Yarmouth on his debut in June. Hard to see him winning this unless there's big improvement forthcoming on the slower ground.
Improved a little with each run and nearly broke her duck over this C&D last time out (soft ground), battling on well for pressure. That form sets the standard and given any rain would be a plus, she looks the one to beat.
Half sister to Speed Company, a useful 2-y-o for John Quinn (won twice at that age) and although bred to want a bit further, yard have a 12% strike rate with their juveniles and can ready them first time up, so worth a look in the market.
Better last time when second to Al Barg at Windsor but may have been flattered a little as she got to the favoured stands rail. Nevertheless, that was an improvement on anything shown previously so if she's as happy on slower ground, she's not out of it.

HIGHLAND MARY is proven under soft conditions so has plenty going for her here if the rain arrives, and ought to take plenty of beating. Time For Wine did better at Windsor and even allowing for the fact she may have had the best of the ground, should give the selection something to think about. Awsaaf and newcomer Santorini Sun both make a bit of appeal for the places.
