In depth
Verdict
There are some nicely-bred debutantes in this including Sheikha Reika, who is a full sister to Cheveley Park winner Lumiere and has entries in the Rockfel and the Fillies’ Mile here next month. The Iffraaj filly Trump Alexander cost 180,000gns as a yearling which makes the 65,000gns paid for Respectable look like small change. But it will probably take a decent performance to prevent SOLILOQUY recouping Newmarket losses as she ran green behind Vitamin when asked for her effort. Ceramist, Lubinka and Arthenia all showed promise on debut but may have to wait for another day if the Godolphin filly shows the expected improvement.
