Mused finished in front of Damned Elusive when runner-up over a mile here while Mymatemarmite finished a close-up fourth in the second division of the same race. Vanitas has only found one too good in both outings over 7f and is another to consider but RIVER CHORUS was beaten less than a length over track and trip last time and James Tate’s filly may prove the one to side with in what looks a tight contest. Tellmeyourstory is a full sister to a winner and a half-sister to others and preferred to Crocus of the newcomers.
