6	Made it third time lucky when winning 10-runner Newbury novice. Sat close to a sound pace when creditable 1½ lengths third on nursery debut and didn't look entirely comfortable on the track when beaten 5¼ lengths in strong race at Goodwood latest. Interesting now tried over 5f with stall 1 to aid. 1st Pick 6 Arabica Queen Jockey: Jason Watson Trainer: Jonathan Portman J: Jason Watson T: Jonathan Portman	100	-	-	-	20%	4/1

1	Confirmed debut promise when running out a convincing winner of a Leicester maiden before good fifth in Super Sprint at Newbury. Unable to get to the lead/justify support back down in trip at Windsor last time. Could be worth another chance from a reasonable draw here. 2nd Pick 1 Sky Secret Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Clive Cox J: Rossa Ryan T: Clive Cox	96	-	-	-	25%	3/1

2	No match for subsequent Coventry Stakes runner-up at Newmarket in April. Followed up wins at Pontefract/Nottingham with eye-catching third in strong Glorious Goodwood and can be forgiven subsequent effort on soft ground in the Goffs Million. Makes plenty of form appeal on return to 5f. 3rd Pick 2 Innichen (Ity) Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Jack Channon J: William Buick T: Jack Channon	99	-	-	-	34%	2/1
