A return to 1m+ is what VALENCIA ideally needs, but if ridden more aggressively than when fourth over C&D on her final start of 2024 she may well get away with being kept to this trip. Fingerpaint looks the part on paper and she will be particularly interesting if the market speaks in her favour, while Collecting Coin and Poweracclaim shaped well on their respective debuts and are others to consider.

    Kingman filly. Sister to useful winner up to 9f Samburu and 7f winner Settlement. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Set Piece. Lots to like on paper and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant.

    Holy Roman Emperor filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner), closely related to useful 7f-9f winner Miramis and half-sister to useful 1¼m-13.4f winner Twin Star. Likely to need more time and distance.

    Verdict
    Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 14 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft, 9/1), unsuited by drop in trip. Somewhat surprising that she's kept to this trip but will presumably have more use made of her and she is the clear form pick.
