Golac was still beaten three lengths when runner-up here last week though he had Lady Phill behind and the latter is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Captain Blue. Heavy Metal made no impression in the Brocklesby and the race hasn't worked out but Fiducia showed a glimpse of promise on her debut at Lingfield and makes more appeal than Ladweb. MUST BE ME is a half-sister to winning stable companion Roodle and Eve Johnston Houghton's filly won't have to be any great shakes to make a winning debut in this company.
