Verdict
Kodi da Capo is bred to stay marathons but has shown very good speed in two starts at Wolverhampton. Norwegian Highness missed the break on her debut on soft ground at Doncaster but picked up late and the experience will have done her the world of good. Kocollada has plenty of winning relatives and Richard Fahey's 60,000gns daughter of Kodiac should be a speedy type. Tim Easterby has a good record in the race and Cosmic Sky, who is from the first crop of the classy juvenile Harbour Watch., is likely to be best of his pair at this stage. Queen Celeste is well connected and has to be respected but the vote goes to INDIGO BEAT, who is a half-sister to the Group 3 juvenile winner Habaayib.
