WILD EYED GIRL, not for the first time, looked unlucky not to finish closer when third in a Naas nursery 9 days ago, bumped under 2f out but staying on to be nearest at the finish. Equipped with first-time cheekpieces, she's fancied to confirm that promise and make another bold bid. Walking On Clouds, down in trip, Magniffico, Shanghai Dragon and Mumayaz head up the dangers.
