Verdict
Social Contact is making her Turf debut and has also changed stables recently. Quick Change has recorded both wins so far at Wolverhampton but she was second on her debut on Turf. Good to firm ground clearly suits last season’s Pontefract winner My Silent Song but Piastrella has run her best races so far at Beverley and she had Convection behind at that track in August, though the latter had no luck in-running that day. REEL ROSIE was no match for Spirit Catcher at Redcar in October but the latter won off a mark of 87 at Musselburgh on his reappearance so Ed Bethell’s filly could be well treated here racing off 71. Gatecrasher Girl showed definite promise in the autumn and might also be well treated.
