Plenty with claims in the opener including So Sleek though she’s returned a losing favourite the last twice now. Nathalie has been thereabouts over 1m2f in both starts so far and Tarte Tropezienne will have come on for a debut fifth at Goodwood last month. Dukinta is another likely to improve but so is FASHION THEORY, who sports first-time headgear today and can reverse earlier running with So Sleek at Sandown in April over today’s longer trip. Sula Island is worth a second glance in the betting on her racecourse debut.
