SIRI may well be good enough in this company on her reappearance. Mick Channon's filly ran well for second at Chepstow on her racecourse debut in September and that's the best piece of form on offer. Spinning Pearl improved for the step up to 1m2f last month and this longer trip should not be a problem on that evidence while Ms Gillard was beaten only a length over a mile at Chelmsford recently and can also figure if lasting home. The remainder have shown little so far though the newcomer Happy Girl is a half-sister to a winner over 1m4f.
