Mystery Bet is a leading contender on her latest second at Yarmouth though her best form has come in soft ground. Rainbow Beauty is not out of this dropped in class and Epic Battle is worth noting upped in distance on his return to action. Lady Who and Storm have plenty of scope for improvement and so does RUFFLED. The latter found an odds-on favourite too good on her handicap bow but John Gosden's filly gets a speculative vote to open her account today in a wide-open affair.
