There was only a length between PEARLA and Silent Love at Newmarket first time out and both should have come on from that run, but the runner-up showed a bit more and may again have the edge. William Buick rode Silvent Love that day but gets off her to partner Spirited Style, who does not figure so highly on the ratings after her Ascot second and was slow to get the hang of things, but she made eyecatching progress in the closing stages.[Richard Austen]

24,000euros foal, 32,000euros yearling; fifth foal; Shaman half-sister to winners Box To Box (1m2f-11.3f; RPR 102) and Gormanston (7f/10.6f AW; 61); dam unplaced at 1m2f in France (56), half-sister to French 1m4f Listed winner Mahaatheer, out of 1m2f Listed winner; late foal; market can guide.
85,000gns yearling; weak 16-1, always behind in maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) six weeks ago; had plenty to learn (a visor goes on today) and the pick of today's rivals should also prove tough.
425,000gns yearling; Sea The Stars half-sister to French 1m1f-1m4f winner Place Du Carrousel (including Group 1 Opera; RPR 120); dam 1m4f-1m7f winner (110); Irish Oaks entry who was co-second favourite for a six-runner maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, made most and was beaten a head; just 1l in front of Silent Love that day, on a highly promising debut.
By Dubawi; sister to 1m winner Whispering Words (RPR 89); dam 1m 2yo winner (including Listed; 101); co-second favourite with Pearla when third of six in a maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, outpaced by her in the penultimate furlong but closing to within a length at the line; like that rival, she should be open to significant improvement, but William Buick is on Spirited Style instead.
Sea The Stars filly out 1m/1m2f winner Wild Illusion (including three Group 1s; RPR 116); 5-2 for maiden at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, slowly away and green but running on well into second of ten; could be type for big improvement and William Buick rides her instead of Silent Love.
