Sound Mixer was a bit unlucky not to get off the mark at Kempton then found one too good at Newcastle. Both starts were over 6f and this longer trip looks certain to suit but EGLISH had been threatening to get off the mark for some time before doing so at Dundalk then came here for an easy victory last month. She's up 9lb but is progressing enough to defy the extra. Mountain Brave makes her handicap debut after three fair runs and should be winning soon while Barbelo showed enough in her three starts to suggest she can go well on her first start in a handicap. Magnificia was staying on over 7f at Lingfield last time so is another to keep an eye on.
