slowly into stride, soon tracking leaders out wide, went 2nd 7f out until pushed along 2f out, weakened inside final furlong

towards rear of mid-division, never on terms
steadied start, raced awkwardly in last pair, never a factor, tailed off
White Moonlight won both starts back in 2019 but hasn’t raced since and is conceding weight to the three-year-olds. Of those, Holocene made a winning debut at Ripon with Wendell's Lass well beaten but she carries a penalty and QUEEN OF THE SKIES can take advantage. The latter came up against a subsequent Listed winner when runner-up at Nottingham on her debut and Frankie takes over the reins today. Croachill and Misty Dancer are both related to Pattern winners and are newcomers to note.
