Verdict

A wide-margin winner on her second start, STAR OF STATE was edged out only late on upped in grade for the Lowther at York and she looks to hold leading claims of doubling her tally. The biggest threat could come from Atlantic Bridge, who has been going the right way in his 3 starts, ahead of Treasurer.

Progressed again when runner-up in the Lowther at York and she remains an exciting prospect (Group 1 entered).

5	€300,000 2-y-o who continued his race-by-race progression when landing the odds in a 5f maiden at Navan 17 days ago. Scored with a bit to spare last time and he can make his presence felt back up in trip. 2nd Pick 5 Atlantic Bridge (Ire) Jockey: W. M. Lordan Trainer: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland J: W. M.

4	Not ideally placed when mid-field in the Coventry at Royal Ascot on second outing, before getting off the mark in a Salisbury novice later in June. Down the field in 7f listed race back at Ascot 7 weeks ago, but he merits consideration with cheekpieces added (has been gelded). 3rd Pick 4 Treasurer (Ire) Jockey: David Egan Trainer: Charlie Fellowes J: David Egan T: Charlie Fellowes	81	-	-	-	3%
