Most of these have been running on the all-weather. Lady Kyllar won at Lingfield in March while Ya Halla scored at Southwell, though probably didn't beat much. Darma hasn't been disgraced on a couple of starts this year while Gold Waltz doesn't look badly treated having been thought good enough to run in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last June. STOCKING (NAP) is still a maiden but her second to Little Lady Kate at Ripon last August worked out well with the winner going on to land a competitive nursery at Newmarket off a mark of 75. Roger Varian's grey is the pick of the weights on that form.
