      In depth

      Verdict

      IRIS BLUE clearly isn't one of John Gosden's stable stars but she showed a bit more on her latest start over C&D and is eased in grade today. Pivotal offspring tend to improve with racing and this should be within her range. Somethingboutmary was clearly out of her depth in a Listed race at York after scraping home on debut at Southwell and should do better back on the all-weather while Moonlit Dancer has hinted at ability on the Polytrack and can't be discounted at the weights.
