In depth
Verdict
Only two of these have racecourse experience but Maggie's Joy beat only one home at Ayr, though showed promise, and Lady Honore was last of five here four weeks ago. Auntie Margaret was a £38,000 yearling who will have no problem with this trip on breeding. There is also plenty of stamina in the pedigree of Godolphin’s Beautiful Secret and Iconic Look but it is a slight concern that the latter sports headgear on her introduction. SUSPICIOUS is by Nathaniel and changed hands for €72,000 as a yearling. Ralph Beckett’s two year-olds usually know what’s required with a market check also advised on Bellshill Beauty, who is a half-sister to two winners.
