Probably the weaker in depth of the two divisions and one where the market will prove the best guide. Of those to have faced the starter, Countess Green ran very green over five furlongs and she should (on breeding at least) relish the step up in trip to seven. High Praise comes from an excellent bloodline and as a half-sister to Observatory and Terrestrial - she should have no problems with this trip. Ardent Lady is also well-bred although the breeding suggests that anything she achieves at two would be a bonus.
