SIERRA BELLE is given a second chance to fully confirm her debut promise. Farasan left the impression his debut was needed and can leave that form behind and provide the chief threat ahead of last week's Brighton third I Am Royal.

Verdict
Frankel filly who was a close second in a Newmarket July meeting maiden on debut. Turned over at short odds in a small-field Salisbury novice since but might have bumped into a useful one and this Cheveley Park entry remains open to progress.

Verdict
Shaped as if needing run when sixth of 9 in maiden at Bath (5.7f) on debut in May for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole. Caught the eye a bit over 6f at Lingfield (all-weather) for excellent new yard 12 weeks later fitted with a hood, but may not really come into her own until tackling longer trips.
