Three of these made winning debuts though Rizg hasn’t raced since scoring at Yarmouth in August. Chiellini won in soft going at Pontefract earlier in the month but LETHAL NYMPH had the previously unbeaten Fly To Glory back in third when successful at Wolverhampton and Clive Cox’ charge gets the vote to defy a penalty. Prodigious Blue is the most exposed but the newcomer Communion is a half-brother to the useful sprinter Confessional among others and is worth noting.
