Direction has failed to add to her debut success at Market Rasen last year in two subsequent starts, and may again struggle under her penalty. Our Ethel, on the other hand, won nicely on her debut at Musselburgh and was not disgraced in a Listed contest at Cheltenham last time. This should prove to be a good deal easier, and she is taken to score her second win here. Scamp has changed stables since finish runner-up in a junior race at Newbury, and is worthy of consideration, while the pick of the newcomers may be the Sir Harry Lewis mare Diamant Noir, from a stable that is well capable of producing debut winners.
