THE two-year-old timefigure scene is dominated by the first three in the Coventry Stakes (with Calyx on 110, including sectional upgrades) and Natalie’s Joy (also 110 for her Goodwood debut win) and there was not a lot going on in the latest week to threaten that.

Nonetheless, there was plenty to like about the win of Royal Intervention in the listed fillies’ contest at Newmarket on Saturday, achieved in a speedy 1m 13.09s on what was another heavily-watered surface.
