Hereby won in soft going over 1m3f at Goodwood last month and breeding suggests this extra distance will not be a problem. But conceding weight to ILLUMINED will be no easy task given the latter found only one too good despite showing signs of inexperience at Beverley on her debut and this longer trip should also suit the Gosden filly. Rewrite The Stars is less certain to appreciate today’s step up from a mile but Pensee is a half-sister to the useful Pivoine and a newcomer to note.
