Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Course debutants for this stable have to be taken seriously; shares a dam with Mystic Sally, a 6½f winner; she shouldn't be far away as trainer is operating at a good strike-rate recently and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Comment: Not beaten far on her debut (Delaware Park, 5f) at 100-30 last month; big chance as shown signs of ability in her exercise and she could be more streetwise here.

5/6

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Saratoga (beaten 7l) in a claimer last month; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; strong contender as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag and stepping up in trip is a positive.
