Ribbing has not raced since finishing runner-up at Thirsk back in July though she did finish ahead of a subsequent winner. Amber Mystique has been off the track even longer and has her first start since placing at Pontefract last year so a chance is taken on NOTTE ILLUMINATA. She was beaten a couple of lengths in a maiden race at Saint-Cloud in October and could go close on her debut for new connections. Shadele is yet another returning from an absence but was well beaten on her debut at Newmarket and has joined Jeremy Noseda subsequently.
