COLOURFILLY made a belated seasonal debut over a shorter trip at Nottingham and ran well enough for fourth. Breeding suggests Ed Walker's filly will improve for the step up in distance and has more scope than most of these. Molly Cat finished ahead of Lily Edge here last time and is another likely to improve while Rakaan has won off higher marks here before. Matraash does most of his winning in plating company nowadays and the unreliable Kicking The Can was placed over track and trip in June.
