Miracle Cure, twice a winner on the Flat in Ireland, has shown nothing so far over timber for new connections. MYSTERY DRAMA (NAP) looked a potentially smart filly when runner-up in a Listed juvenile event at Aintree in December but hasn't reached those heights subsequently. She still has time on her side and this looks a good opportunity for her. Canadian Diamond is 6lb higher than his latest success in March of last year but Vivacissimo is interesting on his first start for Tony Carroll as he won seven races in France on very testing ground. Dormouse wins plenty of races and providing the ground gets no softer can get involved but Kandari will surely need the run after a very long absence. Queen Olivia ran so poorly at Stratford on her return from a break that she's difficult to side with.
