Solid options are thin on the ground and while FAERIE CUTLASS can hardly be considered as such following 3 low-key efforts in novice company, she very much appeals as the type to raise her game now handicapping off a realistic opening mark. If able to build on his latest improved effort here, Phoenix Risen should have a big role to play, while Gorcombe Moonshine and Syr Maffos are others to consider.
