5/2

Due Diligence filly. Half-sister to useful 5f (including at 2 yrs) winner Beautiful Diamond. Unconsidered in the betting on belated debut but showed plenty to work on when second over C&D for John Butler last month and this looks a good opportunity to go one better.

Ardad gelding who showed plenty of ability when close third at Kempton on debut in October. Only third at Chelmsford later that month but form looks better now than it did at the time. Considered.

Forecasts

Farandaway (15/8), Minnie Idol (5/2), Argy Bhaji (3/1), Best Believe (10/1), Vega Storm (14/1), The Wind And Sun (14/1), Go Teejay (22/1), Noble Gentleman (33/1), Teddy Shaw (100/1), Shimmering Spirit (200/1), Supremissy (200/1)

A good opportunity for MINNIE IDOL to go one better having chased home a subsequent winner over C&D on debut last month. Argy Bhaji looks good enough to win one of these given what he showed in a couple of starts in the autumn so is the obvious threat. Farandaway can place again.
