Haraka won a handicap at Southwell in December and is preferred to Things Happen but the remainder make their handicap debuts and MY ROSIE makes most appeal of them. John Gosden’s filly posted a much better effort when beaten less than a length over 1m2f at Lingfield and looks set to open her account. Shee's Lucky and Mikey Ready finished down the field in the same maiden race here in December though the latter has since finished closer but Mayflair has something to find with the selection and Scarlet Thrush has failed to improve on an earlier debut second at Leicester.
