Verdict
Mountain Song has only raced on the all-weather so far but made a winning handicap debut when scoring at Southwell. But the latter’s former stablemate TIMELESS MELODY landed a novices race on testing going at Leicester on her debut for the Haggas yard and gets the vote to improve further now handicapping. Julia Augusta and One Morning are others handicapping for the first time but Belhaven has been raised 7lb for winning at Nottingham when Sly Madam and Farhh To Shy filled the places.
