The Blue Bower steps up a furlong having shown promise in two of her three starts. The extra furlong should also suit Positive Light but she is likely to come into her own next season so this can go to a newcomer. Cottonopolis is a likely sort but is sprint bred while Anna Of Sussex cost only 11,000gns. MOORLAND SPIRIT was a €34,000 yearling and is out of a 7f juvenile winner so appears to have the right credentials.
