went left start, soon led, made all, shaken up over 1f out, soon clear, easily
with winner, ridden 2f out, weakened final furlong
outpaced, headway over 1f out, no chance with winner
An uncompetitive opener and it will be a major shock if any of the three newcomers can prevent Pearl Grey from opening her account. David Loder's well-bred daughter of Gone West, who is out of a smart Listed sprint mare, showed plenty of ability when a close third in a Goodwood maiden last month having shown plenty of pace and the step back to the minimum trip should suit ideally. James Given introduces Thadea, who is a Grand Lodge half-sister to a useful ten-furlong winner, while Nick Littmoden's Valjarv is bred to be speedy and both should be noted in the market but may have to settle for minor honours on this occasion.
