Thunder Kiss looked better than ever at Cork last month, though all of her victories on Turf have come with some cut in the ground. Her compatriot FORBEARANCE is happier on quick ground having landed a Group 3 at Newmarket on good to firm. Ville De Grace appears to act on anything and will be much sharper for her run in the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket last week where Lilac Road was behind. Noon Star, runner-up to Snowfall in last year's Musidora, didn't have much to do to land a Nottingham Listed race last month but is lightly raced and still improving.
