Altaira returns from a break and hasn’t pulled up any trees since arriving in this country, especially on the all-weather. The Reel Way wasn’t far behind Suni Dancer, who runs in the first race, at Brighton in October but remains winless. Blanco has yet to show much so far but is having only his fourth start and may do better now handicapping. MISTRY has improved with every run yet has been dropped 3lb since her fifth here earlier in the month. Mark Usher’s filly has the scope to put this lot in their place.
