MYSTIC COURT posted a perfectly satisfactory hurdling debut when third at Kempton behind Vision Clear, beaten under four lengths with the remainder well beaten off. That level should be enough to see him get off the mark over timber here although he is also expected to progress from that first hurdling experience. Among those behind was Twist, but it's too early to write off the Henderson inmate, who has already scored for the yard on the level. Rukwa showed definite promise on debut and should be all the better for the run and Parisian Affair showed enough in bumpers to suggest she will have a future over timber.
