York's superb three-day Dante meeting gets under way tomorrow with the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes, a traditional trial for the Vodafone Oaks, the highlight of the first day.

Barry Hills's stable is in cracking early-season form and his once-raced Musidora contender Relish The Thought could be a filly of the highest order this season.

A daughter of Sadler's Wells, she had been showing enough in her home work to convince her wily handler to throw her in at Listed level on her debut as a juvenile.

That decision was fully vindicated when she made light of heavy ground to power through from halfway in the Radley Stakes over seven furlongs at Newbury last October.

That was a most impressive debut and the runner-up Blushing Bride showed the form was good by going on to perform with credit in a French Group Three event.

Hills described his filly after the race as "something to look forward tonext year over a mile and a quarter and 12 furlongs" - she can confirm that opinion on the way to a crack at the Epsom Classic.

Injaaz could be another winner for in-form trainer John Dunlop in the williamhillcasino.com (Showcase) Handicap.

The filly confirmed her juvenile promise in a 27-runner handicap at Newmarket on her three-year-old debut.

Injaaz showed real battling qualities after hitting the front a furlong from home to repel Taraniki by a head under a fine ride from Frankie Dettori.

Her five outings last year all showed signs of promise even though the daughter of Sheikh Albadou only won once.

She has certainly trained on and has the appetite for a battle as well as a touch of class.

Mark Johnston's Saratov looks sure to run well in the Newton Investment Management Rated Stakes.

He had useful form as a juvenile, finishing in front of impressive Feilden Stakes winner Olden Times in a maiden at York and chasing home Hemingway and Eminence in the Acomb Stakes.

Maniatis was well-backed on his seasonal debut at Newmarket but ran much too freely and dropped away tamely.

Paul Cole's four-year-old has the credentials of a decent middle-distance performer - he is a brother to the stable's smart Posidonas - and can redeem himself in the opening Yorkshire Life Magazine Stakes.
