11/10

310,000 gns yearling by Lope de Vega from the family of Arc winner Solemia. Ran a bit below the level of her first 2 starts when second at Thirsk (7f) in May but still has leading claims in a thin novice.

Form: 5-32

Forecasts

Britannica (11/10), Prince of Zenda (6/5), Night Breeze (9/1), Shaka (20/1)

There's little to separate BRITANNICA and Prince of Zenda on form, but the former is less exposed after just the 3 starts and is narrowly preferred on that score.
