Some interesting newcomers who need consideration including Rhadegunda and Crystal Cappela, however it is the once-raced Shindy who is taken to get off the mark. Fifth on her debut in a tasty-looking Newmarket maiden, the selection can be expected to run another good race here. She is well-drawn in stall five and assuming that she improves for that first outing, she looks sure to be involved in the finish. Crystal Capella has to be respected; Sir Michael Stoute's daughter of Cape Cross may well need the run as the stable's often do but if the market speaks in her favour then she should go close. Rhadegunda has a nice pedigree (by Pivotal out of a Green Desert mare) and should be respected despite this late racecourse debut, whilst Fantasy Princess is likely to do better with more time. Arabian Art and La Gazetta both showed glimmers of promise on their respective debuts and both come from stable's who are patient with their horses and each may improve. Acquifer has shown ability but is starting to look a tad exposed. However Shindy looks a potential improver and she is taken to score.
