Verdict
INDIGNANT showed she was going the right way when separating a couple of subsequent winners with a third at Kempton in June. Another step forward here should be enough to get her head in front. Royal Steps has demonstrated some ability in a couple of starts in higher grade maidens at Newmarket and Uknowwhatushoulddo ran on for fifth in a decent Ascot maiden on her debut. Both should be thereabouts again while Burning Dawn and Elegant In Silk could also figure after being placed in soft ground on their first starts. Best To Better makes more appeal than stablemate Sand Grouse but Lowther entry Hekaayaat could prove best of the newcomers.
