Verdict

Lucata went close at Leicester at the start of the month but disappointed when favourite at Nottingham last time and is now visored. Assassinate was tailed off in last on his debut so this can go to a newcomer and MYTHICAL SPIRIT may prove good enough. She is a half-sister to a winner and trainer James Tate has a fine strike rate with his two-year-old runners at the track. The latter comment also applies to the Hannon yard and Bismarck The Flyer is worthy of consideration while Tap Tap Boom is out of a prolific dam and preferred to Elemento.
