A fascinating renewal with a number of leading juvenile fillies in opposition including Ego. The Geoff Wragg-trained filly has progressed with experience and followed a 6f maiden victory on the July course with a comfortable success in a conditions event over this same trip at Doncaster. There was plenty to admire about her ability to quicken against some useful yardsticks and she looks capable of further progress but may have to settle for minor honours against Russian Rhythm. The beautifully bred daughter of Kingmambo is currently heading the ante-post lists for next year's 1,000 Guineas having completed a hat-trick with an impressive display in the Lowther. Sir Michael Stoute's filly looked beaten when badly hampered two furlongs out but extricated herself before unleashing a fine burst of acceleration to settle the argument close home. Russian Rhythm was value for more than the official winning margin and can maintain her unbeaten status. Airwave proved that she is on the upgrade with a fluent victory in Listed company at Ayr last time and shouldn't be underestimated while Bella Tusa should be suited by this trip having stayed on strongly to score against useful opposition on her latest start at Ayr's Western meeting.
