WITCHES FAMILIAR created an excellent impression when making a winning debut by 12 lengths at Ballinrobe and, with improvement likely, is taken to remain unbeaten. Carmel’s Phoenix has won her last 2 starts, including on hurdles debut, and looks the chief threat with further progress on the cards, while Arouet is respected if transferring his useful Flat ability to this sphere.
