14/1, ran to similar level as on debut when ninth of 11 in minor event at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) when last seen 5 months ago. Likely she needs more time.

10/11
Promising sort. 14/1, came on plenty for debut when second of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 9 days ago, beaten only by an above-average prospect. Difficult to oppose.

Forecasts

Torchlight (10/11), Inspiritus (9/2), Abbey Gardens (5/1), Flindrikin (7/1), King's Vanity (12/1), Platinum Jubilee (18/1), Glowing Flame (28/1), Darkzideofthemoon (80/1)

Verdict

It's hard to look beyond TORCHLIGHT, who bumped into an above-average prospect at Kempton last week and John & Thady Gosden's filly looks capable of better again. Abbey Gardens and Flindrikin were fourth and seventh respectively in that same contest and may well emerge as the chief threats, with newcomer King's Vanity another worth keeping a close eye on.

  2. Abbey Gardens5/1
  3. Flindrikin7/1
