Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Naas (5f, good, 9/2) 22 days ago. Up in trip and will probably need to improve a touch if she's to take this.

Forecasts

Dreamy Skies (4/5), Daring Grace (9/2), Closely (5/1), Luna Mia (11/2), Magny Cours (15/2), Award Ceremony (11/1), Femme Beauty (18/1), Struck By Her (33/1), London (100/1)

It may be worth siding with DREAMY SKIES, an interesting newcomer who fetched 240,000 gns as a yearling and is out of a 2-y-o winner. Her in-form stable is no stranger to success with first-time-out 2-y-os. That remark obviously applies to the Ballydoyle filly, Closely, who is typically appealing on paper and it will be an ominous sign for her rivals if she's strong in the betting. Daring Grace and Luna Mia are also of interest in a race likely to be dominated by debutantes.
