Verdict
The five newcomers make limited appeal in this bumper and it may be best to stick to those that have racecourse experience with preference for MARY MICHELLE, who gets the vote ahead of Dawn Till Dusk and Mayberry. Emma Lavelle's filly has run well in both starts on a soft surface and she has to be respected on the faster ground today that should not inconvenience the four-year-old. Breaking Barriers and Wigbeth Charlie look the pick of the newcomers but neither makes any great appeal and of more interest may be Alwaysonthemove, who was well held in an admittedly better race than this at Ascot on his debut. Murty McGrath's Dawn Till Dusk ran better on the Polytrack at Lingfield last time and has to be considered but preference is for Mary Michelle. Tim Vaughan's mare showed some promise on her debut at Bangor last month and she has every chance of opening her account if able to build on that effort.
