Despite her cramped odds, DESERT FLOWER holds outstanding claims to remaining unbeaten, following four impressive victories last campaign. Her final win came in the G1 Fillies’ Mile at this track, which bodes well for this assignment.

A relentless galloper, the daughter of 2000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder ought to stay a mile and beyond in time, as her dam’s side has a strong stamina influence in her pedigree. She appears the perfect type to progress this season, especially raised to this mile trip initially. Her biggest rival, according to the market, is the unbeaten Lake Victoria, who is a speedier type but may not have the finishing kick of the selection. 

RED LETTER must be seriously respected for Ger Lyons and her Juddmonte owners. The Frankel filly was an easy Curragh maiden winner, prior to a good fourth in the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes over 7f.

Only beaten one-and-a-half lengths behind Lake Victoria, she kept on nicely once a gap appeared against the far rail, and appeared to have further improvement with that experience on side. There is plenty of upside, as a thoroughly unexposed type, who holds solid claims, for a trainer who excels with fillies. 

HEY BOO is one at a huge each-way price, who may be able to cause an upset. Trained by Jack Channon, who saddled Caernarfon to a fourth-placed finish in this race two years ago, she is completely unexposed.

Hey Boo scored in both all-weather runs before a huge effort to place in Group Two company at Newbury. Likely to improve upon that sole turf effort, she is definitely not to be underestimated from an each-way perspective.
