The fillies Quick Recap and Sendacard arrive with similar credentials having only found one too good on a couple of occasions last year. Tom Dascombe’s charge is preferred of that pair but she will need to have improved over the winter to thwart BLAZING HOT, who has fitness on his side having finished runner-up to the impressive Edraak at Newcastle at the start of the month. Continental was a £240,000 yearling so should improve on her debut fifth when she was very green.
