MARDALE took the lead in the home straight at Doncaster on her debut but was caught in the closing stages. She may well hang on for the win this time with that experience under her belt. My Little Cracker finished well behind at Doncaster but Innis Shannon also made a promising start when second at Newcastle on her debut and can figure. Points winner Hester Flemen should be noted in the betting on her racecourse debut.
