Miss Miracle opened her account on the flat for Clive Cox on her most recent start and was by some way the highest rated of these on the level but she cannot be backed with great confidence on her debut for Jonjo O'Neill given the form of the stable and preference is for another newcomer in ADMIRAL BREESE. The son of Halling failed to open his account on the flat for Reg Hollinshead but ran some decent races in defeat and he looks worth chancing first time out over timber for Evan Williams, who normally has his runners well schooled. Bojangles Andrews needs to improve on the form of his first run over timber, while Tim Vaughan's Frameit is capable but is proving to be expensive to follow. It will be interesting to see if there is any market support for the Mark Tompkins-trained Astrovenus first time out but preference is for Admiral Breese.
