Verdict
None of those with racecourse experience make much appeal including Alice's Dream, a modest fifth on her debut at Nottingham. LUCREZIA and Vaulted share ownership for different trainers. The latter can include Group 2 winner Spacious among six winning siblings but the former is a half-sister to useful sprinters Duke Of Firenze and Duke Cosimo and Sir Michael Stoute’s filly gets the nod to make a winning start. Fancy Day is related to three winners while Panther In Pink is preferred to Rainbow Chimes of Ann Duffield’s runners.
