Verdict
Many A Tale showed considerable juvenile promise and is one to note in the market on this seasonal reappearance for a yard that has found good form of late in what rates a very tight contest. Wahiba is interesting now reverting to what appears her optimum trip but DUSKY MAID looks a proper 7f specialist and that counts for plenty. She has a couple of wins in the book for Joe Doyle and should prove competitive despite being inched up 1lb for her recent Kempton second. Totally Magic looks due a win sooner or later and Acadian Angel could well prove ideally suited by this trip having run over 6f and a mile the last twice, neither of which seemed to be the perfect fit.
