A few of these won their maidens over course and distance including Angels Wings. She drops in class for her return. Elis Eliz ended last year winning here, as did LUNA MISSION (NAP), but no less than five subsequent winners have come out of the latter's race and she gets the nod on that form with Marc Monaghan's allowance further helping her cause. British Embassy and Medicean Bliss are other course and distance winners but Mambo Paradise kept good company after making a winning start at Musselburgh and she may prove a bigger threat on her reappearance.
