The well related Sea Nymph looks to have been allotted a fair mark for her debut in this grade and is taken to follow up her recent course and distance success at the main expense of Red Sahara and New Order. Like the selection, the last mentioned makes her debut in a handicap today but reservations remain about the form of runners from the stable of Barry Hills and New Order may be best watched. Brazilian Terrace has been a consistent performer this term and is again entitled to be thereabouts but may once more find at least one too good, while And Toto Too seems to be handicapped to the hilt at present. Munaawashat has more to do than when winning over course and distance last time and of more interest may be the William Haggas-trained Red Sahara, who has ground conditions to suit. Henry Candy's Anna Panna and Tony Carroll's Tuscarora are others to consider but the vote goes to Sea Nymph. Related to the likes of Islington and Greek Dance, it is hardly surprising that the daughter of Spectrum has got better with experience and, with plenty more improvement to come, she is taken to follow up.
