Aurelia Gold has been thereabouts over a mile in three runs since the turn of the year but she is not really bred for a longer trip. Though twice a winner at Wolverhampton, Cicely hasn’t really sparkled so far on Polytrack unlike MIDGETONAMISSION. Back here, it would be no surprise to see David Evans’ filly reverse Wolverhampton running with Sylvester Kirk’s runner as well as Birkie Girl and Away Wit Da Fairys. El Felicia hasn’t made the expected progress this year.
