Verdict
Baby Ballerina looks best of those with experience though she's had enough chances and may have to wait for a nursery to get off the mark. Fast Cat was beaten a long way at Ripon but should soon be leaving that form behind while Copacobana didn't enjoy the soft ground or extra furlong at Haydock. AL Zubarah cost £120,000 and is the first foal of a mare who won a Group 3. She's very speedily bred and should make a bold bid though DANCING YEARS could prove too strong for her at this stage. Richard Fahey's 175,000 euros filly is a half-sister to several winners including the speedy Kernoff and will know her job.
