Godolphin's TDN Rising Star VERSE OF LOVE (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) failed to fire on all cylinders when seventh in Newmarket's G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes two weeks ago and gets an almost-immediate opportunity of redemption in a low-key affair. Journeying up the A11 to the Norfolk Coast for this straight seven-furlong heat, the March-foaled bay meets Apple Tree Stud's debutante and fellow HQ day-tripper Rumba Numba (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), who is a homebred half-sister to three stakes performers out of Listed Princess Royal Stakes victrix Astonishing (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), from the Roger Varian stable.

Alain and Gerard Wertheimer entry INDIFFERENTE (IRE) (Siyouni {Fr}) is a Yann Barberot-conditioned daughter of G1 Prix Marcel Boussac victrix Indonesienne (Ire) (Muhtathir {GB}) from the family of Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Matiara (Bering {GB}). The February-foaled homebred bay is a full-sister to G3 Prix d'Aumale third Bahasa (Ire) and a half-sister to Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux second Precious Sea (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). She returns for this step up to six furlongs, and encounters 11 rivals, bouncing back off a six-length first-up fifth tackling five at Deauville earlier in the month.
