    Verdict

    Satellite Call and Daisy Roots have the highest rating of these but that’s not saying much. El Maga has only raced over a mile once before but is having a first run at this lowly level and wasn’t entirely disgraced in a 7f handicap at Chepstow on Friday. SHE’S A MIRAGE had to go to Jersey to record a first career victory last month and that was over 1m2f but this is such a poor race that a repeat of that effort may well suffice, though El Royale also has the form to figure.
