Kempton Park Race 1 - Virgin Bet/EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
ROMANTIC SYMPHONY (1) made an immediate impact winning as favourite on debut over 1600m at Newmarket six and a half months ago. Not raced since. A similar showing could be enough to see her win. LITTLECOTE (6) returned with a solid second tackling 2400m at Southwell last time out. Well positioned to play a major role. LIGHT OF PARIS (5) is a three year old filly on debut from a top class family being by Sea The Stars out of Lips Arrow. Hails from the Gosden operation and expected to make a bright start. FASHION'S FANCY (4) is a debutant by Night Of Thunder. Trained by Charlie Appleby and worth monitoring in the betting.

By Australia out of Apticanti on debut. Purchased for GNS 115,000 (Tattersalls 2024 October Yearling Sale Book 2). By leading sire Australia so may be worth following later on.

Second-up. First start ran last of 8 at Lingfield All Weather on January 7 over 1600m, 25 len behind Space Invasion carrying 53kg at $201. Returned from break ran last of 8 at this track on March 18 over 1400m, 43 len behind New Monarch carrying 58kg at $501. The in-form Ashley Lewis rides today but still not keen on her chances here.
