Raggle Taggle should be able to open his account in this company at the main expense of Kitty Allen. Ralph Beckett's filly has to prove herself on softer ground having just raced under easy conditions to date but she has run well on all three starts and deserves to win a race. Her ability to act on the ground has to be taken on trust but her form stands up well and she rates the one to beat. The Magic Of Rio has something to find on the book but is proven under the conditions and merits respect with the yard going well but one of the less exposed runners could cause more problems. Kitty Allen went into a few notebooks following her debut at Kempton as she made eyecatching late headway behind an easy winner having been badly drawn and green in the early stages. Her yard had a winner at the weekend and she can be expected to take a hand in the finish. The two in front of Secret City at York are distinctly useful but those behind may not be and only time will tell how he compares whilst it would be remiss of us not to give a mention to the Chapple-Hyam newcomer Sills Vincero although she doesn't make any great appeal on paper. The market may tell us otherwise but RaggleTaggle would appear to be the one to beat.
