AFRICAN BEAT was only a length behind the winner when fourth at Newbury on last month’s debut. She can put her fillies’ allowance to good use and get the better of Beach Break. The latter was also placed at Newbury last time while Screaming Gemini was ahead of Kuiper Belt at Newmarket, though still a long way behind the winner. The 200,000gns purchase Capital City and the half-brothers to Listed winners, War At Sea and Hochfeld, are newcomers to keep an eye on.
