Formscan - Sixth in a warm York novice on her debut in May last year, BLUE EMPRESS took a step forward to fill the runner-up spot at Newcastle following a 195-day absence last month. Further progress appears likely for the daughter of Blue Point and she can strike at the third time of asking. Desert Champion looked a winner in waiting when finishing third at Southwell recently and is a likely threat, while New Charter could also have a say.
