MYZTIQUE will be a short price for this bumper but is impossible to oppose. She made a winning debut at Fairyhouse in January and was a fair fourth in a Listed contest at Navan on her reappearance when looking in need of the run. Mr Witmore has hinted at ability in all three starts but may have to settle for a place again. Captain Mowbray was beaten 15 lengths when third at Kelso but is entitled to improve and preferred to Raymond Reddington and Dubai Devils, who makes his debut under Rules.
