The first time cheekpieces can see the filly MORDOREE break her maiden at the sixth attempt on her third outing in handicap company. The selection ran well last time out when finishing runner-up and can get the better of Chough who is another to finish runner-up last time out, this time at Brighton. Of the remainder Accomplice ran her best race of this season over 1m1f last time and can take third here.
