ESTISSA (5) indicated promise debuting 4.5L third at Lingfield Park. This stables horses tend to improve for experience and she rates highly with Oisin Murphy on board. DEFINE (4) indicated plenty of ability both outings to date in Ireland. Form of her latest fourth place finish at Gowran Park reads well. Switches to George Scott and could improve. AURELUNE (3) debuted slowly away and never managed to get involved at Newcastle in January. Will have learnt plenty from that run. One to watch. PALACE ARTOIS (9) was unable to recover from a poor start on debut. Warrants thought as set to be more streetwise here.
