Verdict

Exciting prospect MUSICAL TIMES looks more than ready for this step up in class, and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten start. Eabha has to enter calculations following an excellent second in the Prestige last time, with Scommessa Sicura, Sea of Rain and Ballyskeagh all entitled to be thereabouts.

5	From a smart family. Looked a good prospect when edging out more experienced Scommessa Sicura on debut at Newmarket, the pair well clear of a subsequent winner in third. Since eased to victory at Yarmouth and is open to significant improvement over 1m here. Leading claims to make it a hat-trick. 1st Pick 5 Musical Times (Ire) Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	100	-	-	-	34%	2/1

3	Epsom maiden/Newmarket nursery winner (good to firm) earlier this summer. Ran a cracker when 1¼ lengths second in a Group 3 Prestige chock-full of potential at Goodwood (7f, soft) last time. That form could put her right in the mix, and she's likely to stay this longer trip. 2nd Pick 3 Eabha (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Charles Bishop T: Eve Johnson Houghton	99	-	-	-	8%	12/1

6	Strong form when close second to Musical Times before seeing off Tall Trees to make it fourth time lucky in Newmarket maiden. Only worn down by an unbeaten Godolphin colt in listed race at Salisbury (1m) latest, and she's respected back in fillies only company. 3rd Pick 6 Scommessa Sicura (Ire) Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Andrew Balding J: Oisin Murphy T: Andrew Balding	98	-	-	-	10%	9/1
