Fair Selene wasn't disgraced on debut at Salisbury and neither was Whiteley at Windsor – both should know more today. But Tropical Rock looks the best of those with experience as she stayed on strongly at Ascot having got a little outpaced in the middle stages. Grizzel changed hands for 75,000gns earlier this year and represents a yard with a very good strike rate in juvenile races. Naafer is a full sister to the very smart Ertijaal and is another newcomer sure to attract interest but BITHYNIA is a half-sister to several winners, two of which were successful as two-year-olds. Hugo Palmer's youngsters are always to be respected here and his Kodiac filly gets the nod.
