Verdict
Azure World, Cindy Bear and Led Astray are all once-raced fillies with prospects of good progress while William Muir wouldn't send may unraced youngsters here and the speedily-bred Final Option is one to note in the market. Feelinlikeasomeone made a very promising start at Haydock then probably found Chester too tight but HEAVENS OPEN probably bumped into a decent one at Pontefract and can go one better. Ventura Flame is another undone by Chester's turns last time though she's only raced over the minimum so far.
