Night Poetry cost 230,000 euros as the first foal of a Listed winner in Italy. The Godolphin filly make most appeal of the newcomers that also include Zehrah, Haddeya and Wedding Breakfast. The latter is a stablemate to Aryeh, who was well beaten at Kempton last time, while MUMS THE WORD found one too good when favourite back in maiden company at Newcastle. But the latter is capable of much better as evidenced by her earlier good effort in a Listed race and she gets another chance in this.
