Formscan - Although MISTRAL NELL was no match for an improver at Hereford, that was a creditable effort on her first attempt over 3m plus. Fergal O'Brien's mare could find further progress and she holds every chance of going one better off 1lb lower. Somebody's Fortune struggled in novice/maiden company, but it would come as no surprise were she to improve now pitched into handicaps. Melusine De Pail is nothing if not consistent and she's unlikely to be far away.
