Verdict

Youngest ran in the Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket in the autumn after winning a Leicester maiden. Elegancia was very green at Newbury in September but still showed promise. Orchid Bloom had a subsequent winner behind when making a winning debut at Newbury in October but DANCING GODDESS may have just needed the run last month at Kempton and she probably deserves another chance with William Buick preferring her to Veil Of Shadows. Copy Artist is exposed compared to her rivals but the well-bred Kingman filly Queen For You must be held in some regard to be making her debut in a race like this.
