Fair to say Macho Mania hasn't progressed after posting promising efforts on his first two runs as a juvenile. Better last time in a Southwell novice, considerably more is still needed on debut for a new yard. Liberty actually didn't do too badly when seventh of eleven on debut, having got loose beforehand and then slowly away. She's been off over 260 days though and the market may best indicate her chance. Valtellina has shown promise on both starts and a further jolt of progress could see her contend strongly with Kaiya Fraser's 5lb claim an added bonus. Red Hat Eagle went well on both juvenile starts and returns after 254 days away. He'll go close if ready to roll, but RAJINDRI (NAP), twice beaten in close finishes this term, is the preference with Buick booked and fitness assured.
