Verdict
West End Girl made all to win the Group 3 Sweet Solera over 7f at Newmarket and should stay the extra furlong. But ANANYA lost many lengths in the stalls that day so ran a remarkable race to finish fifth. She’d bolted up at HQ the time before and looks a bargain buy at £8,000 – she could go close at a big price if getting away on terms. Cloak Of Spirits was impressive on debut at Ascot in July and holds course and distance winner Alpen Rose on collateral form. She could be anything with a similar comment applying to Powerful Breeze. Boomer followed up a maiden win with victory in a Group 3 at Goodwood and also warrants close inspection but Passion and Run Wild may not be among their respective yards’ top two-year-olds.
