There's better to come from well-bred pair MISS SCOTT and Manaar, who were separated by only ½-length here last month. They meet on level terms this time, which may just allow the Gosden filly to resume winning ways.

Verdict
370,000 gns St Mark's Basilica filly. Half-sister to stable's high-class winner up to 1½m Dubai Honour. Looked potentially useful when making a winning debut at expense of Miss Scott here (9f) last month. She'll improve and could make a bold bid to confirm that form off level weights.

Verdict
650,000 gns daughter of Night of Thunder. Looked a good prospect when making a successful start at Leicester (7f) last September. Improved in hood when ½-length second to Manaar on return here. Now 7 lb better off with that rival and looks sure to progress further. Leading claims.

Verdict
€85,000 Sea The Stars filly. Sent off at 80/1 and showed a bit amid greenness when 9½ lengths behind Manaar on racecourse bow. Can only improve tackling a longer trip second time up, though we'll probably see the best of her down the line.

Verdict
110,000 gns Dark Angel filly. Entitled to improve on debut third behind a now-useful sort here (7f) last September. Has a 10-month absence and significant step up in trip (bred more for speed) to overcome, though.

Verdict
Nathaniel filly who's looked a work in progress in 2 starts 8 months apart. She'll probably come into her own when handicapping.
