In depth

Verdict

Michael Halford has been in fine form recently and MIRAGE MORE can keep up the good work. She had an unlucky run on her track debut last month before staying on nicely over 7f last week and Mikey Sheehey's claim is a plus. Vazzy has looked as though he would be capable of winning a nursery in his last two starts when not beaten far in either though he takes a step up from the 6f he raced over last time. Kalu Pande has finished behind a much better-fancied stable companion in two of his last three runs but market watchers need to keep an eye on Battle Angel, who is related to several winners and starts out in handicaps off a lowly mark.
