Aye Aye Skipper has improved with every run and has decent claims on his latest second at Kempton. He's preferred to the more exposed Imperial Spirit and Ella Motiva, who ran below par at Chester last time. MAGIQUE was beaten only a short-head at Warwick last month when six lengths clear of the third and she gets the vote to go one better in this. Minimee is worth a second glance but fellow newcomer Call Me Marilyn is out of a prolific dam and could prove best of the debutants.
