Formscan By John O'Riordan - CHERRY BLOSSOM should appreciate this easier task having been pitched in amongst Listed fillies on her racecourse debut. The daughter of No Nay Never certainly wasn't disgraced in finishing fourth, while the very fact connections deemed her worthy of the run suggests that she must be well above average. Well drawn close to the stands rail now, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly will be hard to beat. Chicago Fireball is more exposed after three starts but the Johnny Murtagh-trained colt ran in the Group 3 Tyros Stakes last time. He, too, will find this easier although the drop back to sprinting is a bit of an unknown. Mr Saturday, who shaped with promise on his first two runs, is an interesting contender on his first start since being gelded.
For two years old only, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible
