Verdict
Windy Britain is a well bred type and, being lightly raced, should be open to plenty of improvement so earns the TEAMtalk vote. The Luca Cumani-trained filly made an encouraging all-weather debut at Lingfield last month and the daughter of Mark Of Esteem confirmed that she has a race of this nature within her grasp when runner-up over the course and distance next time. Perfect Echo was in the process of a fine effort on her debut over 7f here last month but was badly hampered in he closing stages and did well to finish third in the circumstances. Marcus Tregoning's charge will be better for the experience and should be suited by the step up in trip so rates a danger. Dramraire Mist failed to last home over 12f on her all-weather bow last month and this free going sort may prove hard to peg back over this more suitable trip. Dual purpose performer Cristoforo is exposed as being modest but has place claims if putting his best foot forward in a moderate affair.
