In depth
Verdict
Exclusive Academy has shown enough ability in similar company to suggest she can open her account. The daughter of Royal Academy has stayed on strongly to be placed in one-mile maidens both here and at Southwell and should appreciate the step up to this trip so gets the TEAMtalk vote. Mythical Charm has shown little in three turf appearances but looks capable of going close at this level if adaping to the surface following a three-month absence. Tolaga Bay made no impact on his debut but should be better for the experience and any market support could prove significant.
