Maghya has plenty of scope for improvement and is selected ahead of Bushy Dell and Lullaby Lady. There may also be mileage to be gained in siding with Suzi's Decision, who made good progress last season and starts her handicap career on a fair mark. On pedigree, she should be suited by the step up in trip but she does have a long absence to overcome and needs to prove her fitness, so she may be risky for win only purposes. Lullaby Lady has also shaped as if a mile will suit and, having shown plenty at Leicester 16 days ago, a bold effort can be expected from Barry Hills¿ charge. Bushy Bell has done well on the All Weather tracks and will be a big threat if she copes with the surface. The betting will also be a good guide as to whether top weight is expected to be an insurmountable burden in this company. However, preference is given to Maghya, who impressed with her attitude when scoring at Lingfield just over a fortnight ago. The daughter of Mujahid has proven stamina and her willingness to battle will be a big plus this evening.
