A numerically competitive 1m fillies maiden, but the horse that very much catches the eye is the unraced Sea The Stars daughter THE SKY IS BLAZING. A well related 240,000 gns yearling (€160,000 foal), she hails from the same stable that has twice sent the most exciting (and unbeaten) Signe to Newcastle in 2017. She has the benefit of a handy draw, and looks likely to take the world of beating on her racecourse debut, with the once raced Multicultural seemingly set to come out best of the rest, if making only minor improvement from her decent Newmarket back-end debut.
