In depth

Verdict

Tschierschen has only found one too good in both starts to date. She's well bred and cost €280,000 so will be expected to start winning sooner rather than later, though this is no straightforward task. CORAL SEA has also shown plenty of promise and it's possible that a hood will help her concentrate more. She might be the value at the forecast odds, though Island In The Sky may well be suited by dropping back to 5f having been showing plenty of pace in 6f maidens at Newmarket. Sheila's Palace will probably be tried in a nursery before long but is preferred to Coronation Cottage and the others.
