BLUE MISSILE (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) debuts for The Queen during a period when the monarch has enjoyed two first-time-out juvenile winners, and is a particularly important runner as the second foal out of the G3 Nell Gwyn S. scorer Nathra (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) who was also placed in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Sun Chariot S. William Haggas trains the January-foaled bay, whose rivals include Marc Chan and Michael Tabor's fellow newcomer Luckin Brew (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), a Ralph Beckett-trained full-sister to the stable's G3 Prestige S. and G3 Princess Royal S. winner Antonia De Vega (Ire), who made a winning debut in this race in 2018.
