MIDNIGHT MINT ran well for third on her debut at Ludlow and is preferred to Ballochmyle, Little Mix and Say My Name of those with experience. Of the newcomers, Bella is preferred to stablemate Rinnca Fada while The Eaglehaslanded, a half-brother to bumper winners, makes more appeal than stable companion Drucilla. Premier Bond is also related to winners and may prove best of the Henderson runners and Mother Meldrum is another to note.
