Near miss on her debut (9-4) 21 days ago over C&D; no surprise to see her go well as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come and her initial effort hints at more to come.

Verdict
Echoes Of War looks the most dangerous rival but AUTOGRAPH gets the vote. Astrophile, who has few miles on the clock, is a contender, and All On Red is one to consider.
