Little Lu has been found an easy opportunity to to make a winning debut, with Pinch Me Silver, Opio and Royal Attraction others worth noting. Little Lu is by Danehill Dancer and is related to winners both on the Flat and over jumps, so connections will be disappointed if she cannot make a bold show here in what is a weak finale. She gets the vote over Pinch Me Silver whose stable know how to get one ready, and it is about time that Peter Beaumont got himself back among the winners. Opio made a fairly promising debut when third at Sedgefield but is nothing special, while Royal Attraction has had the benefit of a couple of outings so will surely know what is required now. He has been off for 200 days though and is there to be opposed. In truth this is a very moderate affair in which Little Lu can make the most of her age and sex allowance.
