In depth
Verdict
Khefyn won a lowly handicap at Ffos Las last month and could get involved back in this grade while Melodee Princess may improve for her first start in a nursery. MIXED MESSAGE also makes her handicap debut after showing steady progress in maidens without looking like winning and Ed McMahon's filly gets the token vote. Emperor's Daughter went close at Wolverhampton a week ago and has been placed on Turf before but it's hard to make any sort of case for the remainder.
