Northern Reel, who failed to complete in her first two starts between the flags, went for £38,000 after scoring at Tattersalls Farm. She's travelled a long way for this but TOUCH OF A DRAGON showed plenty of potential when promoted to third at Ayr and normal progress can see her off the mark. She had the penalised Chosen Hero behind while Scarlet O'Tara looked as though she needed a stiffer test of stamina at Hereford. The form of On Cloud Nine's run at Lingstown looks nothing special.
