      Verdict

      After finishing third at Windsor on debut, Fire Eyes may well have won at Musselburgh had she got away on level terms. She’ll be fancied to recoup losses but there are a couple of nicely-bred newcomers in this. Iconique is a full sister to four winners, mainly sprinters, but STIMULATE is preferred being a half-sister to a winner over this trip.
