Star From Afarhh weakened quickly in a Group 3 at Sandown after making a winning debut at Newmarket while Fast Attack failed to handle Group 2 company at Deauville after scoring at Kempton. Ahead of a subsequent winner on debut, SILK ROMANCE easily landed the odds at HQ last month and can pick up some black type here with further progress likely. Heredia made a winning start at Windsor but faces a stiffer test in this.
