Perfect Words never threatened in the Brocklesby at Doncaster on Saturday but he did have the re-opposing Maypole Joe well behind and Mick Channon has a good record in this race. Relay is another making a quick reappearance after fading quickly at Kempton on Friday and she has some improvement to find on that evidence. No doubt the above pair will dominate the betting but a chance is taken on Bill Turner's debutant JUDY IN DISGUISE. The trainer is already off the mark with his two-year-old's having picked-up a seller at Redcar on Monday and his filly is preferred to fellow newcomers Marchwood and Missing Agent.
