A La Prochaine (F)
Made a promising winning start in maiden at Newbury in the autumn, coping well with the testing conditions (displays plenty of knee action). Gave an excellent account up in trip/grade when 3¼ lengths third to Amelia Earhart in Cheshire Oak…

Amelia Earhart (F)

[BH]
Took 5 goes to win a race at 2 yrs but she looked a different proposition (sporting unusual combination of blinkers/hood) stepped up significantly in trip when making a winning return in Cheshire Oaks last month, travelling/quickening up w…

Cameo (F)
Wasn't progressing over 1m but showed much-improved form stepped up markedly in distance when winning Oaks Trial at Lingfield in good style 4 weeks ago. More needed again but she's not to be underestimated.

K Sarra (F)
Made a winning debut in taking fashion at Southwell in November and confirmed that promise at the second attempt (unsuited by drop in trip in the Fred Darling) when 2¼ lengths third of 5 to the returning Legacy Link in Musidora at York, sh…

Legacy Link (F)
Out of a sister to Frankel. Progressive last year, winning Haydock novice before excellent fourth in Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. Took another marked step forward when making a winning return in the Musidora at York, looking well suited by …

On Message (F)
Novice winner on the all-weather who had little trouble defying an opening mark of 80 over 1m here on return. Finished strongly in a messy listed event at Goodwood 2 weeks ago and she hasn't reached her ceiling yet (should stay this far).

Sugar Island (F)
Ended her 2-y-o campaign with a win in a 1m Curragh Group 3 in October. Made a respectable return under a penalty when 5½ lengths fourth of 5 to Amelia Earhart in Cheshire Oaks and further rain would increase her chance if not used as a pa…

Thundering On (F)
Promising Frankel filly who opened her account in impressive fashion in Group 3 at Navan (1¼m, good) 6 weeks ago. Further progress required but step up to 1½m will hold no fears for her.

Venetian Lace (F)
Has developed physically over the winter and took a step forward from her 2-y-o form (runner-up in Fillies' Mile) when third in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on return, beaten only by a couple who had benefit of a recent run. The way she staye…
