Myrtle Drive will have benefited from her introduction at Bangor. Pikarnia was third at Sedgefield while there is every chance that course and distance winner Emperor Sakhee will be good enough to defy his penalty. BOLLIN BEAUTY never figured on her debut at Warwick but stepped up markedly on that when a close-up third at Southwell and any further improvement would make her tough to beat in this.
