Plenty in with a shout and without the benefit of market clues it could be worth chancing handicap-debutante THETYS. There's been definite promise in maiden hurdles from Tony Martin's filly. noted keeping on for fifth in a strong-looking race at Navan 4 weeks ago and it's likely there is improvement in the offing. Recent Gowran second A Mere Bagatelle, Secret Artist and The Connector head up the dangers whilst Bright Blue isn't one to write off either.
