Aegean Mist landed a 6f Lingfield nursery on ground with some give then found 7f stretching her stamina at Salisbury and she's never run over the minimum. Dandy Lad ran well in a fast-ground maiden here in July but has been well beaten in two subsequent starts. SWISS PRIDE has only run one poor race and that was on soft ground but that didn't look his form and his overall form gives him the edge over those with experience though Tease Maid will improve for her debut at Pontefract and has travelled a long way for this. Vino Rosso has been showing good pace before fading while Robert Cowell's three newcomers have to be respected with the very speedily-bred Rocket Action looking the best of the trio.
