Verdict

Myska looked a tremendous prospect when completing a hat-trick on her first three starts but has been a big disappointment in two subsequent runs and will need to get back to her best. Her stable companion RIA D'ETEL could be anything as she won a Listed contest at Auteuil in September by 10l and in receipt of the age allowance can make a successful start for new connections. Another of the younger brigade, Missy Tata, ran a fine race in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and looks one for the future while Cashelard Lady won her maiden by a distance and has performed with credit in much stronger company. The latter holds Ten Times Better on latest form and though Miss Estela landed an Exeter handicap earlier this month she'll need to step-up here.
