Verdict

Poggy's Star started favourite on her debut at Bangor last May so is presumably thought capable of better. Reine Des Miracles only found one too good over a shorter trip at Wetherby in December while Mary Eleanor was only beaten a neck in a driving finish at Huntingdon last month. GLAMA is a Flat-bred daughter of Shirocco from a big yard in good form. She will know her job and could have too much speed for most of these. Fellow newcomers Lady Mix and Agathe Rosalie are also worth a market check.
