FLIGHTY FRANCES handled the cut in the ground at Newmarket last time and receives our nomination with some of the better form on display. Broughtons Bandit wouldn't need to find too much on debut to challenge and given the sire could handle cut in the ground may be worth considering. Half Sister performed poorly the only time she faced soft ground and this may not be the ideal opportunity for her to lose that maiden tag. Flighty Frances under Richard Hughes gets our vote.
