Not a lot of form to go on but we prefer Just Stunning to Tizzy Blue and Magic Score. The Donald McCain inmate was sent off a well backed favourite ahead of a similar race at Hexham and granted normal improvement, she should be more than capable of taking a hand in the finish. Tizzy Blue is trained by the in-form Carl Llewellyn so any money in the market must be respected. Magic Score is well related to a number of former winners so the well bred mare is appropriately respected. Nakoma was a cheaply bought half-sister to Telemachus and should have few problems with the going. Granny's Footsteps was well beaten on debut despite a third on her card and looks to have plenty to do. Beguiling is also noted from a yard that have a good record in this sphere. A tough race to call in the absence of market information and we side with the once-raced Just Stunning.
