Verdict
Last year’s Park Hill winner Mimikyu came up just short at York on her reappearance and drops back down in trip. She beat Time Lock in novice company here last season and the latter was a beaten favourite at Goodwood on her return. Poptronic finished in front of Sea Silk Road when third in a Group 2 at York while the German filly Nachtrose landed a Group 2 in Italy last summer. But Roger Varian asks the first serious question of dual novice winner MODAARA and the sister to a Group 1 winner may well prove up to the task judged on entries in both the Hardwicke Stakes and the Irish St Leger.
