Dat Il Do made an encouraging debut behind My Mistress at Kempton last month and will be fancied to go one better but the form hasn't worked out. Sample missed the break badly on her latest start and may not come into her own until facing middle-distances while Sculptured has had enough chances. Closing showed a bit of promise in the summer but, in a race where the market can prove a good guide, it would be no shock if a newcomer were to succeed and DEMBABA fits the bill. Michael Wigham's colt is by the speedy Moss Vale out of a mare who has produced winners with her first five foals, mostly at around this trip.
