MY LUCKY FLAME produced a much-improved effort when stepped up to 3m here 11 days ago and we'll take the chance that this lightly-raced sort can reproduce that form dropping down to 2m4f. Bumper winner Bypass also goes on the short-list, however, while Emerald Rose was just beaten in a Worcester handicap earlier this month. Massannie, Presenting Me, Strangelittlegirl and Venceremos may also be capable of better while newcomer China Reel would be interesting if attracting market support.
