      Verdict

      Step Softly can follow up her debut success, with Raymi Coya and Romantic Destiny best of the remainder. Step Softly really knew her job on her Folkestone introduction last month, carrying the Queen's colours to victory in confident fashion, and this early maturing sort will surely take the beating on her follow-up bid here. Raymi Coya in contrast ran very green on her Lingfiled bow, but that did not stop her from putting one over on the odds-on Sophie's Girl, so she has more improvement to come and is the main danger. Romantic Destiny is already looking exposed, having had five outings, Kylayne has not progressed from a promising debut, and both Cosmea and Saoodah have shown nothing yet. Therefore, the scene looks set for Step Softly to keep up the good work.
