There is sure to be plenty of interest in Instance and Frankie Dettori has a good strike rate on juveniles for Jeremy Noseda but the Newmarket handler has a surprisingly poor record with his youngsters at this venue so it may pay to look elsewhere. Piece Of Mind should be in the mix on her artificial debut but STRICTLY PINK sets the standard and beat all bar a potential Pattern race performer over course and distance last time and will be unlucky to bump into something with the same level of ability. Beso, Acclamatory and Little Curtsey need to be monitored in the market whilst Bird In The Wind may well prove capable of better than she's shown to date but the obvious threat is Elegant Muse who finished behind Margot Did in May but there are mixed messages from the form with the second and fourth home dropped into selling and claiming company this season.
