Above The Curve (5/4), Night Battle (5/1), Thoughts Of June (7/1), Hello Jumeirah (7/1), Typewriter (9/1), Moon De Vega (10/1), Morning Poem (16/1), Makinmedoit (33/1), Improvise (40/1), Wynter Wildes (150/1)

Verdict

Despite not obviously achieving a great deal in raw form, NIGHT BATTLE looked a smashing prospect when overcoming being held up in a steadily-run race at Lingfield on debut last month, and while she doesn't yet hold an Oaks entry, she could be very smart. Above The Curve is also a filly of extreme interest for all her pedigree doesn't scream middle distances, with Hello Jumeirah completing the shortlist.

  2. ABOVE THE CURVE (USA)
