Those with experience look nothing out of the ordinary with modest debut efforts by Nastenka and Penny Green the strongest form on offer. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Counterweight was tailed off on her introduction so this can go to a newcomer. Dowayla represents Godolphin and the Gosden-filly Whispering Bell cost 200,000gns but a chance is taken on MISTRESS QUICKLY, a half-sister to four winners including the useful Alta Lilea and Ralph Beckett’s filly gets a speculative vote.
