Last season's Norfolk Stakes winner was workmanlike on return but improvement likely

Listed winner/Group 1 placed is top-rated and unpenalised but lacks a run
7 (1)	Royal Bay Cen Chestnut J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	J:Ben Coen T:J P Murtagh	128	—	1445-1	107	123	91	14d	—	—	+14	28.3	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Mighty impressive Irish/stable debut in a Cork Listed race; big chance if handling ground

Won her m'den at the fourth attempt last season; okay return but this is a big ask

Plausible improvement to come over 1.75l defeat behind Charles Darwin on just second start
