Well beaten in two bumpers last winter and then in two Kempton maidens last month at odds of 200-1 and 250-1. Can't make any sort of case for her on that evidence.

Ought to be suited by this sort of trip, but was a 22-1 chance on debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) earlier in the month and beat just one home. Can only watch until we see more.
€180,000 yearling; 11th foal; closely-related to 1m1f-1m4f winner Prince Bishop (inc. Dubai World Cup); half-brother to four winners, out of a once-raced half-sister to a US Grade 2 1m1f winner. Stable among the winners. Could make a good debut.
Pedigree suggests he will be effective from 1m-1m2f. 100-1 on debut, when always towards the rear at Doncaster, beating just one home (1m, good to firm). Much improvement needed.

Bred in the purple and has shown ability on both starts, despite not winning. Hard to knock his 5L second to subsequent Group 2 Ribblesdale winner and Oaks third Frankly Darling at Newcastle last month. Contender.

Verdict

An interesting novice contest. Thibaan's Newcastle run now reads better than it might, given what the winner has done since. He is afforded plenty of respect, as is newcomer Moving Light, who is from a good family. However, LA DRAGONTEA will probably be suited by this stiffish 1m2f and arrives in good form herself. She is taken to score.
