In depth

Verdict

To a degree, this is something of a guessing game, with Nadawat selected ahead of Musical Beat and Balliasta. Balliasta has plenty to like on breeding and she showed promise on her Newbury debut on soft going. Entre Chat is well-related and is an interesting newcomer along with Pat Haslam's Maroussies Rock, a 50,000 guineas daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar. Music Review has possibilities on breeding, while Musical Beat ran at Listed level last time and, while she is maybe not quite up to that level yet, she has shown some ability in her career. Having earned a rating of 74, Nadawat is another to consider seriously, and, finally, Heart Of Glass and Decent Proposal are surely better than they have so far shown. Overall, though, we will stick with Nadawat.
