No Point is taken to land the opener at the main expense of Amazing Day and Miss Willoughby. The selection ran a bit green on her debut at Bath but she was still good enough to get the better of Portway Lane. She should improve for that run and with ground conditions to suit and race fitness on her side she gets the nod. Amazing Day and Miss Willoughby are both closely matched on their debut form at Warwick but the reality is that they will both have to find a fair amount of improvement to get the better of our selection. My Shelias Dream is an interesting newcomer from the John Spearing yard and is certainly worth a look in the market, but for the winner we are happy to return to No Point.
