There is little between Anonymous John, Clergyman and Red Perdita on handicap ratings and all were placed on their latest starts. But attempting to separate those three may prove a fruitless task so this can go to SCENT OF SUMMER. The Haggas filly found only one too good on her racecourse debut over track and trip and normal progress should see her off the mark. Mystify Me and Miss Minuty look likely improvers and are worth a second glance in the betting.
