66/1

Midnight Legend filly. Dam, useful 2m-2¾m hurdle winner, closely related to French 17f-25f hurdles/chase winner Goldgig. Already had a wind op, so market should prove a good guide for newcomer.

Forecasts

Lady Excalibur (13/8), Presenting Nelly (3/1), Becky The Boo (3/1), Talk Of The Moon (15/2), Camembert Electric (8/1), Dooyork (10/1), All In A Tizzy (25/1), Cabayo Lady (66/1), Lady Thistledown (100/1)

The market should reveal plenty here, but LADY EXCALIBUR sets a decent standard on the form of her taking debut victory at Stratford and with improvement also very much on the cards she gets the verdict. Becky The Boo is fancied to bounce back from a below-par Chepstow showing and is next on the list, with Camembert Electric also worth considering.
