Verdict
Ronnie From Donny ran a race full of promise on his debut at Doncaster but then ran well below expectations on his next start. He may have set too strong a pace on the latter occasion and may do better if ridden with a little more restraint. It would be no surprise if he were to bounce back but Alan Berry's newcomer Spellmistress looks a likely type on paper. A daughter of Magic Ring out of a Music Boy mare who won four times over the minimum trip, she is bred to be speedy and her lack of racecourse experience should not be a problem. Others to consider include Ally Makbul and Dispol verity who have both shown some promise and will improve but neither appear to be out of the ordinary.
