This looks quite competitive for the prize money and Erissimus Maximus and Five Star Frank go on the short-list alongside Wolverhampton runner-up Her Terms and Dazacam, who is chasing a hat-trick but has only won on Tapeta so far. LITTLE MISS DAISY found a rare turn of foot to come from an impossible position and get up close home at Lingfield two weeks ago when Street Jazz finished fifth. If the penny has finally dropped with William Muir’s filly, a mark of 63 should not be insurmountable.
