Pulsating beat Very Honest at Kempton at the start of the month and the latter went on to win at Lingfield recently. The former is weighted to confirm superiority and also has the beating of Reedanjas but MYTHICAL SPIRIT is preferred. Julie Camacho’s filly belied odds of 25/1 when finding only one too good at Newcastle recently and can race off the same mark in this. Curious Fox has won off a higher mark on the Turf but shows no signs of a return to form while The Lacemaker remains a maiden and debuts for new connections.
