Flying North drops in class for her reappearance and could go well while Illaunmore may well improve for last month’s comeback third over track and trip. Salamah was well beaten on her handicap bow in September albeit in better company than this and it remains to be seen if Pavillon and Rely On Me can do any better having ended last year winning maidens. But TEXTURED had a couple of subsequent winners behind when winning a nursery at Newcastle in November and Sir Michael Stoute’s filly gets the nod to show further progress this year and land this.
