Verdict
Octave made a successful debut on Polytrack at Lingfield before runner-up, though beaten 5l, in a novices' event at Newmarket. She couldn't cope in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot but this is her level. Ahlan Bil Emarati showed potential over the minimum at Musselburgh and Beverley but after being gelded ran poorly over this trip at Thirsk. Solesmes won a Goodwood seller before well beaten in a Haydock nursery last week while Camachess, after a fair run at Yarmouth, was well beaten in a Class 2 nursery at Chelmsford on Saturday. RED HUT RED has shown pace in all three of her starts over the minimum and, in receipt of 18lb from the top weight, can take this on her debut over the longer trip.
