In depth

Verdict

POMELO struggled in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood when last in action but Ralph Beckett’s filly had earlier made an impressive winning debut at Newbury and her yard could hardly be in better form. The Godolphin filly Romantic Song failed to land the odds when only third at Kempton while Jury Pico never threatened when placed at the same track on her debut. But Talbeyah is a half-sister to a Listed winner while fellow newcomer and €200,000 purchase Sea La Rosa is another to keep an eye on.
