These races continue to please breeders rather than punters and STAR AR AGHAIDH is offered up as our selection with Gaye Starlet and Flash Harriet others to appear on the radar. David Arbuthnot's charge was out of her depth in a valuable Sandown contest but she had exhibited promise on debut at Taunton and the yard are performing well at present. Gaye Starlet was a bitter disappointment at Doncaster and will need to return to her earlier runs in order to trouble the judge. Flash Harriet did not find a great deal for pressure on debut at Southwell though had travelled like a winner for a very long way. Saxona back in fourth on that occasion. Miss Nightshade finished in mid-division in a Sandown bumper and could be open to improvement. Dream Street Rose was just 800 guineas at the Doncaster Sales so could be a fantastic return on investment if living up to her pedigree. Empress Orchid is of obvious interest if the market vibes are positive. Secret Sortie is closely related to a number of winning flat performers and can give a good account of herself this afternoon. Star Ar Aghaidh is taken to score.
