DEBUTANTE’S BALL made a winning start at Chepstow back in May and has been campaigned in pattern company since without threatening to win. Rated 91, she can make the most of the drop in class and get her head back in front. Gold Filigree went close in a handicap at Chelmsford last time and is weighted to beat Three Little Birds, Brandy Station and Aquadabra. But both National Anthem and No More Commisery ran well on their respective debuts and may improve past him. Drakefell is related to winning sprinters and Baileys Excel is the first foal of a Listed winner.
