Verdict
MABELA (NAP) was racing over longer trips at the end of last season but should have the pace for this. She won over 2m4f here in March and wasn’t disgraced off higher marks at Ludlow and Market Rasen the following month. Mystic Court made hard work of landing the odds in a maiden here in May and looks closely matched with Thaqaffa on these terms though is preferred to Bardd, who has yet to win for Danni O’Neill and has been raised 3lb since last in action. San Pedro De Senam may need this and Ventura Dragon still has some improving to do.
