A speculative vote goes to SOUND MIXER in an open contest. She looks a likely improver fitted with headgear for her handicap debut and the Haggas filly is preferred to Gift Of Youth and Littlemissattitude, who are others open to improvement handicapping for the first time. Rapidash struggled at Wolverhampton on her handicap bow but You Don't Own Me scored over track and trip in November though remains 7lb higher. Sweet Serenade may prove best of the rest in a first-time visor.
