Mama Quilla scored in soft going over track and trip in October when partnered by Richard Hughes. The latter is on board for her return but a chance goes to RUNNING DEER to prove her latest running all wrong. She disappointed when sent off favourite on her reappearance at Bath last month but this longer trip is expected to suit and Sir Henry Cecil's filly can make amends. Choral Festival is getting closer as she slides back down the weights and better is expected from the German import Danisa as the season goes on. She makes more appeal than the unreliable Panettone and all-weather winner The Blue Dog.
