Verdict
Related to some useful types. Still very much a work in progress when 7½ lengths third at Kempton (11f) on return 8 days ago. In excellent hands and sure to do even better with the addition of a first-time hood.

Verdict
From a middle-distance family that connections have had plenty of success with. Shaped well/finished with running left when beaten under 4½ lengths on handicap debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1½m). Should be up to winning an ordinary maiden given her pedigree.

Verdict
Shaped with abundant promise from a long way back when close third in a fair C&D maiden on debut in late-April. Looked sure to improve/win races on that occasion, though she does have a 3-month absence to overcome.

Verdict
Sea The Stars filly. Stepped forward from her debut when 3½ lengths fourth at Wolverhampton (9.5f). Type that connections excel with, though handicaps/longer trips will probably bring out the best in her.

Ran to a similar level as on debut when well-held fourth of 11 at Kempton (11f). One for handicaps.

Has hinted at ability in a couple of runs 7 months apart. Returns from further 8 weeks off and this likely a springboard to handicaps.

Shaped as if better for the run when beaten 16 lengths on debut at Southwell (7f). Probably a longer-term project, unless the market speaks in her favour now upped in trip.

Raven's Pass filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful German 2-y-o 6.5f/7f winner Paloma Ohe. Dam French 11.5f winner. Stable isn't a regular source of debut winners.

Showed a bit more than on debut when down the field at Windsor (1m, 250/1). Up in trip but handicaps will be more her bag.
