Verdict
Up Above has shown ability in all three starts to date and may benefit from a drop back to 5f. Shoebox King is another with decent claims but Pepper Streak probably has more scope than that pair and will be fancied to go one better than at Naas six days ago. OBTAIN is a sprint-bred daughter of Oasis Dream and Ger Lyons’ filly would not need to be a world-beater to make a winning start to her career. Ecoutez also has a speedy pedigree and is another newcomer worth a market check.
