Magic Garden started out with a fine run at Pontefract then put a poor effort at Newbury behind her when staying on strongly over this trip at Wolverhampton last week when debut-maker Rojina was around four lengths behind. Daydream looks the type to improve and has had a break since a promising opener at Chelmsford in September. KHAMEELA (NAP) is very speedily-bred and though never really getting into the action over 7f at Wolverhampton caught the eye with a strong finish and she can improve enough to take this.
