Verdict
Mitrosonfire was second at Kempton 12 days ago but that was over 6f and Michael Bell’s newcomer FAST EMMA is getting 11lb taking into account Angus Villiers’ claim. She’s a half-sister to several winners and could be a bargain buy at £6,000. Rania hinted at ability here last month and is a likely improver but Rod Millman’s juveniles often need a run so Toptime is best watched unless attracting market support.
