LADY PERSEPHONE was caught in the shadow of the post at Towcester a fortnight ago and with that under her belt should go one better. Supreme Performer was beaten a long way so one of the newcomers should provide more of a threat. Mystic Sky is the first foal of a winning bumper while Lamanver Alchemy's dam also won a bumper as well as scoring over jumps. Veronaise is a half-sister to the useful Montbazon while Viva Star should have more pace than most being a sister to Lexi's Boy, who won on the Flat and over hurdles.
