Verdict

This doesn’t look to be the strongest renewal of this Listed contest and On Her Toes has the form in the book having won in this grade at Sandown last summer before finishing third in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket in August. Others have more scope, however, including Sibilance who is two from two, though has yet to run on Turf. Princess De Lune was a very easy winner of a 7f maiden at Newbury and could be anything but DANCING BREEZE is also open to plenty of improvement. Despite being keen, she made a winning start at Newmarket and her sister enjoyed soft going – she is also a half-sister to a Group 3 winner in Ireland. Newbury scorer Mulhimatty is out of a Pivotal mare so should also handle conditions.
