Lady Lawyer was a $150,000 yearling and she made a pleasing start at Kempton for a top yard. Conga also made a successful debut over 6f here in September but LISTEN TO THE WIND, a half-sister to three winners between 1m and 1m4f, built on the promise of a second at Kempton by getting off the mark at Lingfield. She’ll relish the extra furlong here and can go on to better things. I Am Magical has shown some ability but may do better in handicaps. Nespola is a half-sister to a winning miler and a debutante to note along with the Deep Impact filly Abr Al Hudood and the nicely-bred Universal Effect.
