ALIGHTING is a half-sister to Don Poli and cost her leading owners a pretty price to acquire. She should have a fair future ahead of her and this afternoon's jockey booking suggest she is expected to go well on debut. This isn't the strongest contest, so she is given the nod to score. Firions Angel ran well enough at Naas over flights recently to suggest she'll be competitive while For Syl and Nicat's Benefit should be capable of better than we've seen to date. Nun's Cross is another potentially interesting newcomer. 1. Alighting 2. Nicat's Benefit 3. Firions Angel
