MIRANDA hasn’t been seriously tested so far and has untapped potential. The four-year-old faces her toughest task to date making her handicap debut but she may be capable of getting the better of the equally-unexposed Not So Sleepy, who is also a course and distance winner, and Kimberley Point. The latter has had a break since just failing to complete the hat-trick in this grade at Southwell in December but Midnight Midge arrives in good form. Commanche Red was third on his handicap debut and should have more to offer with The Twisler possibly best of the rest.
