Verdict

GRACEFUL SONG has the potential for considerable improvement on the back of her C&D debut success and can take the step up in class in her stride. Princess Margaret fourth Nuit d'Eclair could pose a big threat if her stamina holds now moving up to 7f. Martinet impressed with how she went about things at Thirsk and is next on the list.
