Comment: It was a valuable C&D maiden (soft) for fillies in which she was beaten 2l into second behind a favourite who had shown plenty on her Newmarket debut; stable's juveniles usually improve lots for their first run so this Starman half-sister to five winners should be hard to beat.

Comment: Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and only narrowly failed to follow up his Windsor win at Newbury 20 days ago, again over 1m2f on good ground; 3lb higher here but handles soft ground and looks sure to be involved.
