El Toreador is a fair betting proposition for this tight little fillies handicap and she is selected ahead of Cheri's Dream, who is expected to be sharper after her reappearance, while Comma, on the other hand, is one to seriously consider even though she makes her seasonal debut today. Comma, whose dam was top class in on the dirt the States, has the beating of Sunlight on juvenile form lines and, considering Sir Michael Stoute's record with fillies, she is in the right hands to be brought along steadily. Stoute has not sent many runners to this course this term, but looks to have found a suitable opening to gauge the talents of this Kingmambo filly. She is one to keep on the right side once she has proved she has trained on. Cheri's Dream looks fairly treated after just three starts; she also pleased with her attitude when she won her maiden here in May. Andrew Balding's filly is going the right way and she should not be underestimated in this company. However, El Toreador was also an eye-catcher on her handicap debut last time out and, as this is not mush tougher, normal improvement will be enough to see her home tonight
