An open-looking apprentice event which can go the way of TAI SING YEH, who has the blinkers quickly reinstated after a rare below-par effort recently and partnered by a jockey earning plenty of plaudits at present, James McAuley's veteran can regain the winning thread. Petit Calvados shaped encouragingly making her first start outside of France back in May so she heads up the opposition, ahead of Inishmot Prince and last year's winner Rocky Dreams.
