A decent turnout in which it is hard to oppose the claims of PLAYFUL SOUND. Brought along in masterful fashion to win four of five starts by Sir Michael Stoute, her Newmarket victory on reappearance in a hot Class 2 handicap suggests this move in Listed grade should be well within her grasp. Hopefully the ground will remain on the quick side as she's unproven on soft. Entsar was another major improver last term and must be included in calculations with her stable in such tremendous heart and further progress anticipated. Course and distance winner Very Dashing is respected on her second start for the Beckett operation after showing up really well last time, with both Permission and Wilamina not discounted along with consistent More Mischief.
