IRIDESCENCE opened her account at Wolverhampton in January with a subsequent winner back in third. There should be plenty more to come from Jeremy Noseda's filly now handicapping and she's preferred to another couple of lightly-raced maiden winners in Press Room and Speed Boogie. They also got off the mark on Polytrack though the latter has the more recent form with a win at Kempton three weeks ago. Interior Minister finished ahead of Kelvingrove on the all-weather last season and Short Squeeze went close over 7f at Kempton in November. Mixed Message is more exposed though she has won a couple of handicaps over shorter trips and should run her race.
