Verdict

GONE BY takes on a trio of rivals who surely have more to offer but she sets the very clear standard on a brace of runner-up efforts 6 months apart and she really should make no mistake this time. Golden Step gets the tentative nod for the forecast.

2	Bred to be useful and made an encouraging debut when runner-up in 1m novice at Newbury in October, very slowly away but pulling clear with promising stablemate. Failed to land the odds when second of 7 at Ascot (1¼m) but will surely make no mistake this time. 1st Pick 2 Gone By (Ire) Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Hector Crouch T: Ralph Beckett	100	-	-	-	75%	1/3

1	Golden Horn filly. Sister to 11f winner Alfred Spero. Dam 7f/1m winner. Too green to show much when a distant third of 9 starting out at Kempton 4 weeks ago (11f). Well bred and in very capable hands so she's sure to improve on that. 2nd Pick 1 Golden Step Jockey: Jack Mitchell Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford J: Jack Mitchell T: Simon & Ed Crisford	70	-	-	-	15%	6/1

3	62,000 gns foal, St Mark's Basilica filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 11.5f/1½m winner Star Storm and useful 1m winner Sargasso Sea. Failed to make a significant impact on debut at Newcastle in November but that was over 6f. Hiked up in trip now and better expected. 3rd Pick 3 Joud Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Callum Rodriguez T: Edward Bethell	69	-	-	-	8%	12/1
