Acclamation filly who showed plenty of ability amidst greenness when third in a Thirsk novice (6f, soft) on debut 11 days ago, hanging left over 1f out. Should've derived plenty from that initial effort.

Forecasts

Dance Sequence (5/6), Race The Wind (3/1), Upscale (13/2), Crocus Time (10/1), Hagwa (12/1), Calafrio (40/1)

The pair with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard, so DANCE SEQUENCE is selected to make a winning start for the Appleby/Buick combination who will hope to leave what can only be described as an underwhelming June behind. Stablemate Race The Wind may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Upscale, but the market will no doubt provide plenty clues.
