The manner in which FOLK OPERA stamped her authority on this when the chips were down indicates a mile and a half will be well within her compass and it was no surprise to hear connections talking in terms of a run in one of the Oaks trials. Prices for the Singspiel filly range between 20s with William Hill and Stan James to 16s with Ladbrokes, VC Bet, totesport and Paddy Power.

Brisk Breeze is yet another offering from a Henry Cecil stable well-stocked in the staying department with its fillies and she showed she'd gone the right way by chasing the winner hard, without looking like taking her measure. On this display the Monsun filly has improved from two to three and would not look out of place in a trial.

Fidelia is another daughter of Singspiel who will win her share of races. She hails from a very good family and ran on as if crying out for a mile and a half.

Fascinatin Rhythm displayed marked improvement from what she offered-up last year while Mirthful finished close enough to suggest a normal maiden would be a formality for her.

Galianna also showed ability on what was something of a baptism of fire.
