There are some potentially nice fillies in this but Coral Reef was a bit disappointing on her all-weather debut at Wolverhampton. Cruella De Vill has gone close over 6f the last twice and Senesi made late headway when third at Kempton. Royal Bliss was beaten under a length at Chelmsford on her UK debut but PACO’S PRIDE was given a gentle introduction at Wolverhampton and may have more scope. Of the newcomers, Copy Artist is a half-sister to two winners including the useful Whitebeam while William Buick prefers the Dubawi filly Star Guest to Glory Lily.
