Verdict
Henry Cecil does well with his debutantes at Nottingham and if all the hype surrounding Java is to be believed, this could be used as a stepping-stone to better things for this daughter of Rainbow Quest. She is sure to take a hefty chunk out of the betting ring if she is successful and Kirov and Meza are only speculative choices against her in what promises to be an informative contest.
