Beaten a nose in a 7f novice event at Epsom (good) on debut last August. Below that form at Goodwood (7f, good) the following month and bred to appreciate this step up in distance on seasonal debut.

Unraced Frankel filly out of an unraced mare who is a half-sister to useful performer Mr Owen. Hails from a top yard and is one for the shortlist on racecourse debut.

Slowly away when 8L fourth in a 1m2f event on the AW at Kempton when debuting just over a month ago. Likely more needed if she is to take this event.

Well held in a couple of novice races over this trip last month. Beaten 21L when last of seven at Leicester (good-to-firm) recently and likely to be of more interest once eligible for handicaps.

Unraced Zoffany filly bought for 15,000 gns at the sales as a foal. Half-sister to a number of useful Flat and jumps performers and interesting to see how she fares on debut.

Unraced daughter of Dubawi and a half-sister to winner Best Blue. From a good family and is worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Well beaten 18L tenth of 11 in a 1m novice race at Newbury (good-to-soft) when debuting last October. Likely capable of better stepping up in distance.

Forecasts

Summer Flair (8/11), Persepone (11/2), Dubious Affair (6/1), Bella Vita (7/1), Shrewdness (7/1), J Gaye (33/1), Sadler's Soul (33/1), Onomatopoeia (33/1), Video Diva (40/1), Spring Run (50/1), Mousebird (50/1), Lollipop Lady (66/1), Libbretta (100/1), Just A Minute (100/1)

Verdict

SUMMER FLAIR represents top connections and she can get her season off to the perfect start with a victory in this fillies contest. The selection looks capable of getting the better of the unraced Frankel filly Dubious Affair who hails from a leading stable on debut while third place can go to Bella Vita who ran well on the first of two starts last season.
  1. Summer Flair
  2. Dubious Affair
  3. Bella Vita
