In depth

Verdict

Not much form to go on and, as ever in this type of event, the market will provide a crucial guide. Jonjo O'Neill's yard has been rather in and out of form of late but newcomer Music To My Ears makes plenty of appeal on breeding and has to be considered along with fellow debutante Easy Squeezy from the Nigel Twiston-Davies stable. It would come as no surprise if either proved good enough to score while of those to have raced, Flame of Zara has the best credentials. Mary Reveley's charge showed plenty of ability when fourth on her debut in an above average bumper over a mile-and-a-half at Newbury last month. The daughter of Blushing Flame will appreciate the step up to this trip and can only improve for the experience while Thread of Honour looks the type who is capable of stepping up on his initial effort but lacks a recent outing.
