MIZZURKA looked up against it on official figures in a Listed race at Sandown last month. That proved to be the case as she was well beaten behind Banjaxed Girl but this is more her level and she went very close under McCoy in a similar race back in December. She's just preferred to Violin Davis who won't be long in winning judged on her latest effort behind Seren Cwmtudu, while more is expected in time from Kings Queen who travelled well for a long way on her recent hurdling debut. Bumper winner Osmosia is worth noting on her first start over timber.
