Verdict

OPTIONAL MIX has taken well to chasing, opening her account at the third attempt last season and showing improved form when runner-up both starts of the current campaign. She can resume winning ways, though Pat Coyne is respected in his bid for a hat-trick. Sargent Lightfoot completes the shortlist.
