BLUE GERANIUM was only a neck behind the more-experienced Natural Wonder on her debut over a mile at Newbury in October and has the greater scope for improvement. She should reverse that form today and looks a danger to all. Summer Icon was placed three times in seven starts as a juvenile but is another who probably lacks a bit of scope. Jadaayil was second over 6f on her introduction at Newbury but very disappointing when odds on at Haydock subsequently and has a bit to prove now. Charlie Hills also provides the Dream Ahead filly Sante but Clear Water is the newcomer that catches the eye. She has a dirt pedigree but her half-brother Gold City was placed twice in Group 3 company and she'll know her job.
