Verdict
Nice Name drops back in distance after a modest debut over 7f at Leicester while Geoff Potts steps up a furlong on the back of a fourth at Sandown. Vestavian went backwards last time and Pennock showed no improvement when down the field at Ayr last week. But FIRST RATE is the first foal of Group 1 Cheveley Park winner Hooray and it would be no surprise if Roger Varian's filly proved good enough to get involved in an ordinary-looking maiden on her racecourse debut.
