It is usually an act of folly to disregard newcomers from the Kevin Ryan and Karl Burke stables so Missterious and Petra Celera go on the shortlist. The former is preferred of that pair but the vote goes to MAUNA LOA. The Dark Angel filly was only beaten a length on her Thirsk debut and should have come forward considerably. Lady Showcasing stepped up from her first run with a game effort at Wolverhampton while Bellarchi, a pleasing third on her Thirsk debut, will find this company much more to her liking than the competitive Listed contest in which she finished unplaced at York's Dante meeting.
