        Verdict

        Bound For Heaven and Fooraat made winning debuts over 7f at Catterick and Newcastle respectively but the latter beat MARIA ROSA (NAP) by only a neck. John Gosden’s Godolphin filly re-opposes on better terms and fitted with headgear for her reappearance, she gets the vote to turn the tables. Of the newcomers, Magic Sky is owned by Coolmore but her yard is struggling for winners and Riviera Belle is preferred as her dam is a Listed winner and half-sister to Golden Horn. Silent Performance cost E130,000 and makes more appeal than Feisty Gal and Kimberley.
