A couple make their belated debuts here with the Juddmonte Farms-bred Icy Quiet having joined her current trainer in November, while another four-year-old newcomer, Madrilene, must have shown some ability at home. However, the latter's stablemate Queen Of Denmark has won again since beating STARS IN YOUR EYES at Kempton last month and John Gosden's filly gets another chance here stepping up a furlong. Mister Fizz showed promise on his recent debut on the Flat and may improve past the more exposed Spin Cast, but winning hurdler Arkashan hasn't raced on the level since 2008.
