can shine for John and Thady Gosden in the Jebel Ali Racecourse EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Newbury.
The Juddmonte-owned and bred filly is by Frankel and out of Soffia, a high-quality, Group-winning mare.
This filly started her career in a Yarmouth maiden earlier in the month and finished third, beaten a length and three-quarters despite obvious signs of greenness that point to more to come with experience.
Also at Newbury,
Silent Flame nb – 7.15
can keep up a good run for trainer Rod Millman in the BetVictor Handicap over seven furlongs.
The mare was a winner at the Berkshire track over six furlongs last time out and having found her form again she might still have a bit in hand off her current mark.
God Of War do – 2.30
can get his head in front in the Sky Bet Supporting Matt Hampson Foundation EBF Novice Stakes at Doncaster.
Tom Clover’s colt made his debut at Yarmouth, finishing fourth in a six-furlong maiden when beaten a length and a half.

Miss Cynthia do – 3.40
can win the Darley EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes under Paul Mulrennan.

who can come out on top in the Red Ribbon Official Weighing Room Opening Open National Hunt Flat Race.
Olly Murphy’s gelding was second on his bumper debut, going down by just three-quarters of a length in a good run from which he can progress.
In Ireland there is an eyecatching entrant in the Jockey Club Of Turkey Silver Flash Stakes, where Aidan O’Brien’s
Bedtime Story lp – 5.50
looks the obvious threat at Group Three level.
A winner on debut on Leopardstown in June, the two-year-old then headed to the Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot as the 11-8 favourite.
There she lived up to the expectations of her remarkable pedigree when streaking home in an impressive time to prevail by a huge nine and a half lengths.
The daughter of Frankel and Mecca’s Angel now returns to Leopardstown to make her Group-race debut under Ryan Moore and she is clearly the horse to beat.
The other Group Three on the card is the Japan Racing Association Tyros Stakes, where
Surpass lp – 6.50
holds a strong chance for the same O’Brien and Moore combination.
The Saxon Warrior colt is unbeaten in two starts so far, winning a pair of Tipperary contests including a three-length victory in the Glenvale Stud Race last time out.
