A chance is taken on LUVLY finding enough improvement to land this rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers. He faded back into third on his debut over track and trip earlier this month but that experience should stand him in good stead. Mistymoistymorning is a half-sister to a winner in France and is preferred to Simply Clever and First Selection. But Reflektor is related to four winners including the smart sprinter Bahamian Babe and he may prove best of those making their debuts.
First Selection (SPA) Diktat colt out of Villa Sonata.
Luvly 7-1 (9-5) Pressed winner until ridden 2f out, kept on same pace, 3rd of 5, 5l behind New Road Side (9-0) at Southwell 5f 2yo mdn stks (5) fbs.
Reflektor (IRE) Bahamian Bounty colt out of Baby Bunting.
Mistymoistymorning (IRE) Alhaarth filly out of Bermuxa.
Simply Clever Stimulation filly out of Well Of Echoes.
