The majority of those with experience have shown little so far with only Bousatet and Mistral Wind making any appeal. The former drops back in distance after last month's outing over a mile at Haydock and should be in the mix, while the latter arrives on the back of a fourth on the Polytrack in January. GARDEN ROW won't need to be anything special to score at the first time of asking in this company. Willie Haggas' filly cost 100,000gns and the half-sister to a Group 2 winner may well be good enough.
