Verdict
MYSTICAL APPLAUSE followed a promising debut at Leicester by scoring with a bit in hand at Salisbury. Duchray made a successful debut at Pontefract and was taking on stronger company when last of four at Musselburgh. Queenmambo has shown nothing in two starts but Mlle Chanel is a half-sister to five winners and gets plenty of weight from the winners.
