THEBEAUTIFULGAME carries a penalty for her Salisbury success but Laura Pearson’s claim takes care of most of that. She may be able to make the most of her experience again to see off Shibuya Song, Auntie Margaret and Improvise who showed varying degrees of promise on debut and will know more today. Cet Horizon was a 90,000gns yearling and Smiling Jayne changed hands for 120,000gns last year so neither of the newcomers can be ignored if attracting market interest.
