Verdict

Silent Moment should improve on last season's debut stepping up in distance on her comeback and is preferred to Sound Hearts, who posted a disappointing effort at Salisbury last time. Ghusoon was unfancied for her debut at Kempton but stayed on to finish a moderate fourth ahead of the well beaten Wijaya. The 240,000 euros filly Minoan Dancer has no fancy entries but is worth noting on her debut as is another Galileo filly in NATURAL BLOOM. She cost 350,000gns and the half-sister to five winners including the top-class Fairy Queen may be good enough to score at the first time of asking.
