Verdict
BENGALI, out of the same mare that produced top-class chaser China Rock, is a very interesting newcomer here for David Pipe and she can get the better of previous winner Ardnahoe and Pixiepot in receipts of 7lb. Ethelwyn can't be ignored having only found one too good in her two starts to date and she looks the stable pick ahead of Card Game. Lucky Buttons is also worth a second look and Dalby Spook wasn't disgraced on her debut at Kelso.
