Verdict
Any number of these are open to improvement now stepped up in trip and well-bred newcomers Markttag and Court Pastoral should certainly be monitored for market interest. Sultanah Heyam caught the eye over a mile at Lingfield five weeks ago and goes on the short-list while Miss Mitigate will have learned plenty from her fourth at Chepstow. OMNIPRESENT was beaten 11 lengths when third at Kempton on his only start last year but is the type to make into a three-year-old and can make a successful return to action. Nandura and Pure Mischief may need more time but could be the pick of the remainder.
