Rialto Magic is the only one of these with recent winning form having won at Chelmsford earlier in the month. Another bold bid is expected from her but a chance is taken on the returning LUCY THE PAINTER. She was placed in a higher grade sprint than this at Windsor in October and can race off a 5lb lower mark back on the all-weather. An import from France, Baileys Mirage has won just the once in 26 starts but Silvestre De Sousa's presence takes the eye while Light Rose continues to slip down the weights though both wins to date came over 7f.
