Operatic Export may be a maiden but has shown ability, though today’s conditions may be too quick. Empreinte Reconce finished tailed off at Southwell in a race in which See The Sea finished fourth but will strip fitter today. Green Or Black is capable on her day and Sid Hoodie won three times last year, though off lower marks. Kim Bailey is more than capable of getting one ready at home so ROSE TO FAME’s long absence can probably be overcome as she looked a progressive mare when completing a double in novice company in spring of last year.
