Both Exentricity and La Estatua have something to find with Godolphin's Simple Elegance on today's terms and the latter should go very close with a 7lb claimer on board. But all three of the above have had plenty of chances so the nod goes to Charlie Appleby's other runner COIN A PHRASE. The newcomer is a half-sister to three winners including stablemate Kind Invitation, who made a winning debut on the all-weather. Starlight Genie is also related to winners including the prolific Cadeaux Pearl and is another debutant to note.
