In depth
Verdict
MUSHROOM is a daughter of the smart Group 3 winner Spout and a half-sister to four winners including one on the all-weather. Roger Charlton's filly could be good enough to take this on her debut and gets the vote. Fellow debutant Ekasin is a half-brother to a couple of winners in Italy and it would be no surprise to see him take close order. Ya Hafed has been placed on the Polytrack but is returning from lay-off but Mountain Myst showed improved form to finish third at Lingfield last week and could make the frame again.
