The only newcomer in the field; related to 7f winner Kittyboys Girl; early foal; she should go close as some good aspects to her profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Verdict

This is not a race for maximum stakes but PURE DELIGHT is the one to side with. She has enough to like about her pedigree. Wings Of Kildra has generally been running well, Duchess Di should be on the shortlist, and Money Galore looks a big threat.
