Blue Mistral, Picky and Fowey are the trio to concentrate upon and Blue Mistral is the selection. The selection is unproven on this surface but won well at Brighton on the turf and appears to possess a modicum of ability. The useful Jack Mitchell is aboard. Picky has had plenty of chances but did get his head infront in a bad race at the track a few months last month. He struggled subsequently in handicaps and might be worth taking on. Fowey has looked pretty ordinary in the past but this is her first step into handicaps and any runner stepping up from the Sir Mark Prescott yard has to be respected. Saaratt has it to prove after a number of misses. Fairy Festival put up a promising debut for Stan Moore and has to be watched in the market as the yard are sending out winners at present. Xalted is another to step up in trip. Blue Mistral is a tentative pick in a very ordinary race.
