Having shown plenty of promise over shorter trips, this can go the way of SMILING who has plenty of stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree and first-time cheekpieces may also help spark some improvement. Calrissiana looks like the main threat back on quicker ground after a low-key return. [Phill Anderson]

Mastercraftsman filly; dam 5.7f winner (RPR 79), half-sister to winners Top Lock (1m3f AW/German Derby third), Chain Of Events (1m2f) and Carnivore (7f-8.6f); tough ask on belated debut.
Lope De Vega filly; cost 240,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to German 1m1f AW winner Bavaria; dam 9.4f-1m4f winner (including AW/Listed; RPR 102), sister to unraced dam of 6f Group 1 winner Shaquille, out of 5f Group 2 winner Danehurst; plenty to like about her pedigree but a hood for debut perhaps not a good sign.
Kodi Bear filly; dam maiden from 6f-1m2f (RPR 63), half-sister to winners Babbo's Boy (useful 1m2f-1m4f) and Lanansaak (Listed-placed 7f/1m), out of 1m 2yo winning granddaughter of Cheveley Park winner Desirable; worth a market check.
Night Of Thunder filly; half-sister to French 1m2f winner Khalidiya (RPR 94); dam 1m3f/1m4f winner (including Group 3; 104), half-sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Katiyra, out of 1m4f/1m6f Listed winner; well bred newcomer; might be more of a middle distance prospect but certainly worth a market check.
Took a decent step forward from a promising debut when runner-up at Dundalk and had subsequent winners in behind; beaten favourite on return but could be a different proposition at this new trip; wears first-time cheekpieces.
