Failed to build on promising debut fifth at Thirsk when last of 10 in maiden (15/2) at York (6f) 26 days ago. In excellent hands so worth another chance.

€30,000 yearling, Dabirsim filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart 10.5f-2m Litigant. Pedigreee appeals so newcomer is not without hope for good yard. Market can guide.

25/1
Twice-raced maiden and only modest form shown thus far, seventh of 8 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Forecasts

Iconic Queen (1/1), Fragrant Storm (4/1), Amasova (5/1), Diamonds At Dusk (10/1), Glitterbox Girl (12/1), Hipsway (18/1), Morjhana (18/1), Sadie's Day (25/1)

Verdict

FRAGRANT STORM has lots going for her on pedigree so this daughter of Frankel is taken to make a winning debut for the powerful Mark Johnston yard. Iconic Queen has shown plenty to be placed on both her runs so rates the chief threat, while Diamonds At Dusk and Morjhana are not without interest on their respective first starts.

  1. FRAGRANT STORM
  2. ICONIC QUEEN
  3. DIAMONDS AT DUSK
