Imperial Ink, Light Of The World and Rastanora have all shown glimpses of ability but went backwards on their latest starts. Any one of the above may bounce back today but ENGAGING SMILE caught the eye staying on for fourth over 6f here on her racecourse debut and she gets the vote with this extra distance likely to suit. Lahayeb is related to a winner and makes more appeal than fellow debutant Brean Golf Birdie.
