SAMOOT ran green for most of the way at Sandown on her debut but knuckled down in the final furlong to finish third. She’ll know more today and Sir Michael Stoute’s yard has an impressive strike rate at this venue. Forever Grateful struggled in a Group 3 contest last time but had gone close in a maiden race at Doncaster earlier while Positive Mentality placed over 6f at York on her debut. Secret To Success never figured at Beverley but stablemate First Smile can include a Listed winner among four winning relatives and Baby Alya is another newcomer to note as she’s related to a host of winners including the smart Lady Of The Desert.
