CHEERIO SWEETIE will take some beating after bolting up at Lingfield. She attracted strong support and the result was never in doubt so this looks well within her capabilities. Magic Florence showed real potential in the Brocklesby where she only faded inside the final furlong so she should improve and the form has already worked out well. The market should tell us more about the newcomers but Mukhmal is a very speedily-bred colt who cost £60,000 as a yearling and should have plenty of pace.
