Verdict

Carole's Destiny, a half-sister to useful jumpers Carole's Legacy and Mad Max, is probably the most interesting of the newcomers in this and would certainly be interesting if attracting market support. Choc Thornton has opted to ride the Old Vic filly Golden Firebird ahead of Ruby Kew and previous winner Who's Afraid and she's another debutante to consider along with expensive purchase One More Cookie. Florafern and AP McCoy's mount Maid Of Silk have shown ability, as has Young Mags, but there is probably more to come from BALLYQUIN QUEEN whose two runs so far have been in decent company. She's been far from disgraced in either and this easier grade could see her get her head in front.
