Verdict
TEO'S MUSIC was having his 13th start when getting off the mark over the track and trip early last month where he just got up to catch Nimitz. He's been left on the same mark so should again take care of the runner-up and can complete a double. Miss Mirabeau won a little handicap at Chelmsford for Sir Mark Prescott and has joined a new yard who also have the former David Lanigan-trained maiden Getgo making his debut. Pivotal Connection was having only his fourth start when landing a maiden over a mile a couple of weeks ago and runner-up Dhafeera runs earlier on the card. French Mix went up a massive 15lb for an easy victory over 1m4f here and has struggled subsequently.
