In depth

Verdict

Sheila's Rock showed plenty of potential in her two starts last year and should find a race this season. Nassya cost 525,000gns and is by Dubawi out of a winning miler. She made a reasonable debut at Doncaster in October and looks certain to make further progress. SUN MAIDEN is by Frankel and a half-sister to six winners including the brilliant Midday. She made an eye-catching start at Wolverhampton in December and is still in the Oaks. Voluminous was going on at the finish over an extended mile at Wolverhampton and will have come on enormously for the run as will White Light, who attracted support at Newbury last month and looks the type to improve significantly.
