OBLONG SONG had looked a good prospect for middle-distance events this year when runner-up at Nottingham on her second start, so she can build on her reappearance at Sandown (race won by the Oaks-second Emily Upjohn) to open her account at the third attempt. She can get the better of Atlantis Blue who was runner-up over C&D last time, with the well-bred Fine China the pick of the newcomers.
