In depth

Verdict

Godolphin's Sea The Stars filly Night Poetry started a short-priced favourite on her debut at Wolverhampton but never looked like winning. She must be well regarded and will be expected to do better but DUBAI WAVES looks to have the edge. Hugo Palmer's filly was always in the firing line on her debut here and stuck to her task really well to be beaten narrowly by Faience with better fancied rivals behind. Dalavida went to Newcastle for her opening run and though never in contention stayed on well enough over the mile to suggest this will be her trip. Becuna is one to note on her debut as she's a half-sister to a winner at this trip and out of a winning miler.
