Verdict
The ex-Italian TAURAKINA made a winning debut in this country when scoring over 7f at Kempton but failed to land the odds over 6f here last time after missing the break. Chris Catlin takes over the reins from an apprentice and such was the manner of her Kempton victory she looks worthy of another chance and gets the vote. Sunset Kitty showed enough at Kempton last time to suggest she will not be long in winning although an extra furlong would help her cause, while Lingfield winner Cat Hunter should run her usual solid race. King's Caprice is not without a chance but Just Timmy Marcus was engaged to run here yesterday.
