The running of Abbey Cat in the 2.45 may give an indication of the chances of Misphire, who finished a close fourth behind Alan Swinbank's charge last time; however, she looks to be the second string behind Making Music, who is preferred to Golda Seek. The selection returns to a maiden after a couple of promising runs in nurseries and looks to have been found a soft race to finally open her account. Clive Brittain's American-bred filly Kaveri has a pedigree that suggest that she cannot be completely ruled out, while a market move for Kevin Ryan's newcomer Coleorton Foxe would be of interest. Fayr Sky showed promise first time out at Ripon and makes more appeal than James Given's Regal Lass, a half-sister to the stable's sprint winner Harry Up. Making Music may have had plenty of chances but none in a race as weak as this and she gets the vote to finally open her account.
