Formscan - Sapphire Seas has flattered to deceive in a couple of Group 2 events since the turn of the year, most recently in the Middleton at York. Pedigree suggests she will relish this longer trip, though, and the drop in class must be viewed as a positive to her chances. NIGHT SPARKLE found significant improvement as a four-year-old last season, and she was an excellent second in the Bronte at York on her reappearance a fortnight ago. Andrew Balding's string often improve for their first run and, should she follow suit, the Postponed mare might be the answer. The unexposed Queen Of The Pride finished second in the Daisy Warwick at Goodwood last month and must enter calculations too.
